New organisation to help transform NHS and social care workforce planning
A new organisation is being set up to help NHS and social care bodies plan their workforce around delivering more productive and people centred care, Health Minister Ann Keen announced today.
The Centre for Workforce Intelligence will help the NHS and social care system plan their workforces around shifting resources to the frontline, removing bureaucracy and moving care from hospitals into homes and the community.
The commitment to form the Centre was made after a review into the future of the NHS workforce in 2008, ‘A High Quality Workforce’, highlighted the need for an organisation to provide leadership on the quality of workforce planning across the health and social care system.
