Workforce planning helps you ensure the workforce of today and tomorrow has the right numbers, skills, values and behaviours, at the right time and in the right place to deliver excellent healthcare and health improvement that meets the needs of the local population.  

Our experts will support you in transforming your health and social care teams.  We work with you to understand your current workforce composition and challenges along with future capacity and skills needs. We then co-develop a tailored workforce plan that could focus on efficiency, transformation or redesign to deliver the workforce which will meet the needs of your local population.

Workforce planning and modelling

We will work collaboratively with you to develop workforce plans, creating a coherent set of actions to move from the current to the future state. We offer workforce planning support in phases, using our industry best-practice, six-step workforce planning methodology, which uses a combination of engagement, analytics and research.

Our expertise includes data analytics – we can undertake workforce modelling to assess and predict the demand​ for the current and future​ workforce based on the health needs of the local population and map against workforce supply.

Workforce efficiency​

We will provide advice and guidance on workforce efficiency including productivity, agency reduction, planning and implementation of collaborative and student banks and establishment of international recruitment hubs. Our team can help you understand, define and shape your workforce efficiency programmes providing practical steps and support.

Workforce transformation and redesign

Workforce redesign changes the workforce’s shape, composition and ways of working​ including developing new or amended roles​ and redesigning the workforce to adapt to new processes and technologies. We have a wealth of experience in devising and delivering workforce redesign that enables transformation which in turn achieves the desired future state of healthcare delivery.
