Strategic Workforce Planning
10:30 – 12:30
The workforce challenges being faced across the NHS are as critical as they ever have been. Whilst the NHS People Plan has set out a blueprint of key areas to focus on it is critical to reflect on how the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery has changed the way we deliver services across the NHS and the impact this has had on colleagues. Marie Gabriel CBE and Siobhan Harrington (Co-Chair’s of the London People Board) will provide an overview of the direction of this group and look to expand on where activities can be achieved on a Pan-London basis e.g. staff wellbeing.
In addition, Marie and Siobhan will be joined by colleagues from NHS England and NHS Improvement and Health Education England to further discuss critical topics such as ICS Integrations and Best Practices, Strategic Workforce Planning and improving how we work across the region.
