A call for evidence has been launched, closing on 7 November, asking NHS partners and stakeholders to support the development of the 10 Year Workforce Plan.

Open call for evidence - 10 Year Workforce Plan

We know that you will very much understand the link between the ambition to move from an analogue to a digital NHS laid out in the 10 Year Health Plan and the role of building digital skills in our staff.

Now is an opportunity to contribute directly to the workforce plan’s development as we look to understand how we will bring through sufficient numbers of people, with the skills the NHS will need, in a reformed system that has delivered the three shifts set out in the 10 Year Health Plan.

You have tremendous examples of best practice and innovation that can be scaled to meet the 10 Year Health Plan ambitions. Now is your time to share them.

This plan aims to create a sustainable workforce that is fit for the future, ensuring the NHS has the right people, in the right roles, with the right skills, so that every patient receives world-class care whenever they need it. It will support staff to work flexibly, grow their skills, and feel fulfilment in their careers.

We will need the insight and expertise of our partners to ensure this work is robust and evidence based. Together we can create a workforce plan that empowers staff, delivers world-class care, and secures the future of the NHS for decades to come. Please contribute your expertise.
