Head of Nursing for Education
Practice and Staffing at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHSFT)
The NHS Long-Term Workforce Plan has three priority areas all of which relate to skills.
- Train - increasing education opportunities including delivering more trained nurses
- Retain - through better supporting the development of individuals throughout their careers and
- Reform - building broader teams with flexible skills
Apprenticeships are a workforce planning strategy that can support all three agendas; it’s the responsibility of NHS Employers and training providers to work together to further expand apprenticeship provision to aim to train 1 in 6 NHS clinical staff. This session, delivered by BPP along with one of their Partners, the University Hospital Southampton, will explore how the NHS can work towards achieving the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan through the provision of nursing apprenticeship pathways.
