Enhanced Therapeutic Observations and Care (ETOC) webinar series: ETOC data

Join the Nursing Directorate's Workforce Team from 12:00pm to 13:00pm on Thursday 19 March 2026 for the eighteenth webinar in our enhanced therapeutic observations and care (ETOC) series.

The session will explain how ETOC data is collected and reported, including the key metrics submitted through the monthly Provider Workforce Return (PWR).

The webinar will cover which metrics are collected and  share local approaches to collecting and reporting ETOC data, including substantive hours.

The session will be chaired by Jo Watson, Head of Workforce Supply, NHS England - East of England, who will be joined by colleagues from NHS trusts, who will share their experiences and learning in this space.

We recognise that the examples shared throughout this webinar may not be directly applicable to your organisation and that everyone may be at varying places in their journey, however we are hoping this webinar will inspire you to think differently.

This event will be useful for anyone within your organisation responsible for the provision and monitoring of ETOC, including but not limited to, ETOC teams, nursing workforce leads, staffing leads and PWR leads.

About the Enhanced Therapeutic Observation and Care (ETOC) programme

Demand for Enhanced Therapeutic Observation and Care (ETOC), often referred to as enhanced care, 1:1’s or specialling, has increased due to our aging population and complexity of patient presentation. Nursing leaders report the need to identify innovative workforce models to ensure that patient safety and experience can be maintained in the most appropriate way.
 
NHS England's Nursing Directorate's Workforce Team, in collaboration with Safer Staffing colleagues, have launched a programme of work which aims to support systems to develop and improve their approach to how enhanced therapeutic observations and care is assessed and provided, with patient safety and experience at the centre.
