14. Safer Staffing
EXPECTATION 9: Providers of NHS services take an active role in securing staff in line with their workforce requirements. Providers of NHS services actively manage their existing
workforce, and have robust plans in place to recruit, retain and develop all staff. To help
determine future workforce requirements, organisations share staffing establishments and annual service plans with their Local Education and Training Board (LETBs), and their regulators for assurance. Providers work in partnership with Clinical Commissioning Groups and NHS England Area Teams to produce a Future Workforce Forecast, which LETBs will use to inform their Education Commissions and the Workforce Plan for England led by Health Education England (HEE). 13

15. Workforce Development

16. Educational Support
Clinical Learning Environment – improving quality of learning and teaching in practice.
Research Innovation and Evaluation – new ways of learning and evidenced based education.
Integrated Education – support for providers to bring together educational governance within organisations to ensure multi-profession learning.
Quality Improvement Tool – supporting improvement in education through the LDA process. 15

17. Key Messages Placement Capacity
Workforce must be aligned to service – not vice versa.
Health and Social Care is the same team.
Effective teams are more important than individual excellence.
Funding should align with training need – not based on history.
Most of the future workforce is already working in the NHS – CPD Spend should reflect this. 16
