A part of the NHS Confederation working on behalf of the NHS
NHS Employers represents trusts in England on workforce issues and helps employers to ensure the NHS is a place where people want to work. The NHS workforce is at the heart of quality patient care and we believe that employers must drive the workforce agenda.
To mark the 60th anniversary of the NHS this year, NHS Employers is recognising the extraordinary contribution of NHS staff. Find out more.
We work with employers to reflect their views and act on their behalf in four priority areas:
- pay and negotiations
- recruitment and planning the workforce
- healthy and productive workplaces
- employment policy and practice
We keep employers up to date with the latest workforce thinking; provide practical advice and information; and help them to network and share knowledge.
How we work
Forging strong partnerships with Government, trade unions and other stakeholders means we can promote employers' interests at the highest levels, addressing current workforce issues and helping to shape the future.
Our policy board plays an important role in making decisions about the work, position and direction of NHS Employers.
We are part of the NHS Confederation and the Department of Health sets the broad framework within which we operate, but it is employers themselves who drive our agenda.
