How we can help you
- Supporting understanding of current and future state workforce needs and workforce optimisation
Working across our teams of workforce and analytical experts, we undertake the development of workforce models, gap analysis and strategic and operational workforce planning, including use of new roles, skill mixing, top-of-license working and opportunities to widen the candidate pipeline and pool.
We have developed our own in-house workforce optimisation suite and methodology, using population health and health inequalities data, data quality indicators and qualitative insights, alongside innovative person-focused workforce reviews to help you align the potential of your current and future workforce to patient needs, optimising your workforce capability. This methodology can be applied in a variety of workforce spaces, from primary care to mental health and at varying levels of system or organisational maturity and readiness, and was mentioned as an example of good practice in the recently published Fuller Report.
