A Framework for Health & Wellbeing: NHS Workforce Congress
Following on from a highly successful and well-followed congress back in March we are pleased to share details of our Framework for Health & Wellbeing: NHS Workforce Congress
Public Health England states NHS staff absence due to reduced health costs the NHS around £2.4bn a year. It is more important than ever that NHS workplaces become environments that enable staff to make choices that support positive wellbeing. The NHS depends on having a healthy and productive workforce to deliver high-quality patient care.
NHS Employers alongside NHS England and NHS Improvement have launched a new Health and Wellbeing Framework for the NHS.
The framework is an interactive document that makes a case for staff health and wellbeing, sets out clear, actionable steps and guides how organisations can plan and deliver a staff health and wellbeing plan.
A diagnostic tool has been created to support the implementation of the framework and help organisations identify critical areas of focus when planning or improving a health and wellbeing programme.
The framework focuses on:
Organisational enablers – the essential leadership, structural, and cultural building blocks for improving staff health and wellbeing. This includes leadership and management, data and communication and healthy working environments. Health interventions – the core health areas to focus support for staff, this has been informed by research on the leading causes of absence due to poor health from NHS organisations.
There is no single answer for how NHS organisations can solve the challenge of improving staff health and wellbeing. While there is a lot of useful advice and guidance, this isn’t always accessible or easy for NHS organisations to use effectively.
The Framework, supporting information and the Diagnostic Tool has been created to help people working in all NHS organisations plan and implement their approach to improving staff health and wellbeing.
In a fast-changing healthcare environment, with a growing and ageing population, the task of ensuring that the workforce has the skills, knowledge and time to care is essential to future-proofing the NHS and its ability to meet patients’ needs.
