Today the government published its NHS workforce plan, outlining how it’ll tackle chronic understaffing and an ageing population over the next 15 years.
There is a real need for increased workforces around the globe and one of our strategic priorities focuses on this. We support enabling the training of the next generation.
Dr Nora Colton, our Chair, talked to Sky News this morning about workforce planning, a subject we are passionate about as we continue to support and care for our growing communities.
“This is a start in a right direction, and we welcome this plan,” Nora said.
“We need to discuss the current workforce and how we can get things moving quickly, there is a lot more work to be done, but this is a first step on a long journey. We need to think more widely about health and what we want for our growing population and generations to come.”
