Supporting talent pipelines in the NHS
Our second virtual workforce supply conference took place on Wednesday 7 September 2022, bringing together NHS professionals in HR, workforce, education and organisational development.
The wide range of sessions offered an opportunity to hear from across the NHS and wider health system. Speakers shared good practice and experience to help support supply and retention of our workforce.
The ideas shared are actions that organisations across the system are taking to meet commitments in the NHS People Plan and Levelling Up White Paper. They also including topic areas of growing your own workforce, inclusive recruitment, and developing skills to encourage employers to think about how you can apply these locally and the impact this could have.
