NHS Workforce Congress: Health and Care Strategy
08:30 am
06 Mar, 2019
etc venues Manchester
On the 6th March 2019, the Convenzis group in partnership with The Association of NHS Charities will be hosting a 1-day conference that will focus on how the NHS is planning to build a happy and healthy workforce and the tools at their disposal to help drive this strategy.
Lack of funding and a huge staff shortfall has created a perfect storm within the NHS, the number of vacancies is at a record high in England as an underlying deficit of £4.3bn has been revealed but with the recent annual budget review and news of a £20bn investment into the NHS over the next 5 years, we should see these statistics fall, NHS leaders are poised to publish their blueprint of how the health service can adapt to the next 10 years with help of this recent funding injection.
“The NHS is one of our country’s finest achievements. As outlined in the NHS Constitution it belongs to, and is a source of pride too, the people”
Topics our conference will address:
- Transforming Care Programme
- Change & Innovation
- Better use of workforce Tech
- ESR – Workforce Solution for the NHS
- Staff Nursing and Workforce Quality management
- The Recruitment Challenge – An Alternative Solution
- The health and care strategy
Join us in March to listen, learn and engage with the thought leaders that are driving new policies and strategies to create a fully sustainable healthcare service. places are limited so get in touch early to avoid missing out on this opportunity.
We look forward to meeting you on the day.

The recent Nuffield Trust and Kings Fund paper (‘The Healthcare Workforce in England: Make or break?) highlighted five ‘tests’ for NHS workforce planning, including the need for the NHS to develop short and long terms solutions to workforce planning. The Transformation Unit, Prospect & The Strategy Unit believe our approach starts to build the skills and methodology to allow this to happen. A fundamental principle of our approach to workforce planning is to engage with organisations and systems throughout the process and to develop local capacity and skills in people

The Recruitment Challenge – An Alternative Solution
Victoria Reynolds
Career Engagement and Liaison Officer
Merseyside Health Sector Careers and Engagement Hub
It’s no great surprise that one of the greatest challenges that the NHS faces is fulfilling its workforce needs now and for the future. At a time where less than favourable media coverage and changes to funding regimes are leading to a reduction in the numbers of individuals considering a career in the NHS, could proactively targeting under represented talent pools and developing employment programmes be the answer to filling gaps and diversifying the workforce?

Harnessing a flexible workforce in the NHS
Tom Hadley

With the spotlight very much on safe-staffing and patient safety, there has never been a more important time to drive good recruitment and utilise the benefits of a joined-up approach to flexible staffing in the NHS. Planning for future workforce requirements and accessing the staff needed to deliver a world-class NHS is something that we must get right.
