Our fourth virtual workforce supply conference took place on Monday 30 September 2024, bringing together professionals from the health and care sector working in HR, workforce, widening participation, workforce planning, education, training and organisational development. 

In 2023, the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan was published and set out a number of ambitions for the future of the NHS workforce. The conference helped employers realise these ambitions by transforming the healthcare workforce through training, retaining, and reforming.  We explored how we can work towards the goals set out in the plan and reaffirm that we are in this together. Our speakers shared a wealth of good practice to inspire you to implement effective initiatives in your workforce.  

The conference featured insightful presentations and panel discussions across a number of different topics: 

  • One year on: reflections on the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan
  • System placement approaches 
  • The use of emerging roles - Advanced Clinical Practitioners, Physician Associates  
  • The importance of apprenticeships to the health and care sector 
  • Career development to aid retention of our workforce  
  • Stay and Thrive – international recruitment and retention  
  • Recruiting from the Armed Forces community 
  • Scaling up T Level industry placements. 

For those that registered for the event, session recordings will be available on the Airmeet platform for 30 days.
