Shaping the Future of Staffing: NHS Workforce Strategy Congress

Due to continuing demand, we are pleased to announce that our 3rd Shaping the Future of Staffing: NHS Workforce Strategy Congress is now live and taking both delegate and sponsor registrations, please see details of our upcoming event below;

“New models of care will only become a reality if we have enough staff with the right skills, values and behaviours to deliver them. We need to develop a workforce able to work across settings and traditional professional demarcations, with flexible skills.” NHS England

NHS Workforce related stats:

  • 38% of NHS staff reported feeling unwell due to work-related stress
  • There are over 100,000 current vacancies across NHS trusts
  • One in five staff on average have left their role in 2017/2019
  • The cost of employee accounts for an average of mental ill-health £1,794 to £2,174 per employee

The workforce challenges in the NHS in England now present a more significant threat to health services than the funding challenges, Across NHS trusts there is a shortage of more than 100,000 staff the gap between staff needed and the number available could reach almost 250,000 by 2030.

Projections suggest that without significant remedial action, the current gaps in the NHS workforce will increase significantly and undermine the future sustainability of services.

To try and tackle the rising issues faced by NHS senior managers across the UK we have seen documents including The NHS Workforce Strategy Framework & The Workforce Stress and the Supportive organisation framework published.

These documents set out a clear plan on how NHS managers can implement changes to help retain staff and improve productivity and wellbeing, key trends include:

  • Leadership & Management
  • Data & Communication
  • Healthy Working Environment
  • Mental Health
  • Musculoskeletal Health

Join us on the 6th of February 2020 at the Shaping the Future of Staffing: NHS Workforce Strategy Congress as we provide NHS senior managers with an in-depth and policy-driven look at the current workforce strategies being implemented across the UK, you will hear from an expert panel of speakers and hand-chosen commercial partners that will be on hand to provide commercial sector best practice.

“Are Public Sector managers a ‘Bureaucratic Burden’? The case of English public Hospitals”

Although managers are, globally, a central part of the new public management reform agenda, in recent years, policymakers and the media have raised concerns about their effectiveness and contribution. In some countries, this debate has been heavily influenced by Public Choice Theory (PCT) and notions of government failure. In this presentation, I report on our latest research, focusing on the case of public managers in acute care hospital trusts in the English National Health Service. Our analysis raises questions about the assumption that the NHS is ‘over-managed’ and that managers engage in rent-seeking behaviour. Using a longitudinal database of 150 acute hospital trusts in England, spanning six years (2007-2012) and employing a dynamic panel data model, our findings also suggest that managers have a positive impact on organisational performance. Larger numbers of managers led to improved patient satisfaction, a five per cent improvement in hospital efficiency and a 15 per cent reduction in infection rate.

“The Age of the Learning Ecosystem”

We expect far more from our experience of learning systems nowadays. It needs to match our general digital experience of searching and buying goods. We need to be able to collaborate, feedback, compare and many other aspects. We need to disrupt our normal methods and approaches to e-learning. We need to be more sophisticated and flexibl

“How to save your marriage with an app”

Shift work is integral to the health sector. But the nature of the role leads to health problems, wellbeing issues, isolation and disengagement. Addressing this requires a different, more health-focused and modern approach, and one that is already available in their pocket.
