1. Workforce Repository & Planning Tool
The North West workforce planning solution to delivering service transformation

2. What is WRaPT?
WRaPT
Securely holds workforce data from all types of health and social providers and has the functionality to model this data based on future state care scenarios
Data can be uploaded from the time transformation starts – rather than half way through when decisions are already made
Is unique in the sense that for the first time there is the ability to see, compare, analyse and understand the entire workforce that serves patients within a health economy and beyond
Different ideas can be tested to generate an evidenced based strategic approach to the size, shape and cost of the modelled workforce
Outputs from WRaPT include workforce models and workforce baseline reports with the ability to report beyond traditional organisational boundaries
Impact assessments of the planned workforce changes can be created through analysing the data held within the repository
It is free to use for health and social care organisations and cross-economy transformation programmes such as Vanguards

3. Who can use WRaPT?
Health & Social Care organisations – for workforce planning and to share this information for cross-economy work
Cross-Economy Transformation Programmes – when transforming services for example through integrating pathways or introducing new models of care
Teams, services, departments, networks - can all use WRaPT to better understand workforce and activity and model changes for improvement

4. What does it need to work?
Just three sets of data…….
Workforce data
All the system needs to know is who is in what team – this data is drawn from existing workforce systems like ESR captured through a standard template with the essential fields
Activity data
The system uses cost centres as a way of matching workforce to activity and holds information on how much activity is done by the team
“Driver” data
Simply, this is a way of explaining how staff split their time between different activities and is very powerful when analysed within WRaPT. Driver data is not generally recorded by organisations, instead it is created through discussion with staff or agreeing assumptions as part of the WRaPT process

5. What can WRaPT inform?
Workforce Baseline Sample graphs:
Strategy Development: by the collection, analysis and modelling of future workforce propositions, both local and economy-wide transformation ….. By clearly linking clinical strategy with local health and care system commissioning ambitions

6. WRaPT can model the Future State
If we increase activity, what is the workforce requirement?
If we change the makeup of the workforce, what is the impact on services?

8. We want to use WRaPT, what do we need to do?
The WRaPT Team works with organisations to help them establish WRaPT as part of their transformation programme. This is through meeting with groups of organisations e.g. Vanguards to understand the WRaPT scope, suggesting an approach and agreeing any WRaPT Team support
A range of resources are available to assist organisations along their WRaPT journey. The WRaPT Pack describes the phases of WRaPT and holds a number of relevant documents to support implementation
User training sessions are delivered regularly to increase the number of WRaPT users and transfer skills and knowledge to the health and care system
Contact the WRaPT Team either by ing or by calling

9. WRaPT Pack
The WRaPT Pack is designed to assist organisations in assessing their readiness in using the Tool and supporting them through implementation of Phases 1 to 6
You can access the WRaPT Pack here

10. The WRaPT Process There are six phases to WRaPT
Partnerships, Ownership & Objectives
(including Information and Data Governance)
Phase 2
Workforce Data Collection
Phase 3
Activity Data Collection
Phase 4
Driver Data Validation
Phase 5
Scenario Modelling
Phase 6
Training, Case Study & Closedown
The outcome desired by organisations will determine the extent to which phases are completed

11. WRaPT Questionnaire
The WRaPT Questionnaire is a web-based form that can take Vanguard or other cross-economy transformation programmes through the six phases and enable recording of relevant information from across all partners.

13. TIER 1 AGREEMENT Not Signed… Signed… TIER 2 AGREEMENT
Without a tier 1 agreement any collaborative efforts between the partner organisations are impossible as it would be a breach of the Data Protection Act to process this data outside of the individual organisation. You will also be unable to perform any cross economy analysis as a result.
Having this agreement means that you can start to safely and collaboratively analyse and process the workforce data sets. You can also start engaging partner organisations, such as WRaPT.
This is an agreement between partner organisations to provide an overarching framework for data sharing between themselves
Not Signed…

TIER 2
AGREEMENT
WRaPT can model the data which will enable an accurate workforce baseline to be created and scenario modelling of the workforce across the entire group. By having full access to the data a correct ‘to be’ state can be created. Upon signing the Tier 1 Data Sharing Agreement we can then share the work we have done across all of the partner organisations.
WRaPT will be unable to accept any data at all from partner organisations and we will have to send this back. We would therefore be unable to assist the partner organisations in any way other than to provide training as to how the tool can be used.
This is an agreement between partner organisations and WRaPT agreeing that you are happy to share your data with us and the other partner organisations.
