Healthcare Leader’s roundtable on workforce

Healthcare Leader’s latest roundtable is out now, bringing together system leaders and experts to discuss the primary care workforce.

Healthcare Leader’s roundtables look at the core issues facing NHS leaders at integrated care boards (ICBs), the challenges they face, the solutions they’ve found and their plans for the future.

With the additional roles reimbursement scheme (ARRS) bringing more than 37,000 new employees into primary care this roundtable looks at how ICBs are building on this capacity to improve access to healthcare and resilience across the system. We also cover the role of ICBs in training and retention schemes.

Workforce leaders from NHS Norfolk and Waveney ICB, NHS Bath, North East Somerset and Wiltshire ICB and Arden and GEM commissioning support unit discuss their approaches to workforce planning and development across the system.

Editor Victoria Vaughan says: ‘Integrated care boards are tasked with looking across the system at the workforce to uncover the shortfalls and areas of challenge in order to plan for the future and support staff in the present. The task is incredibly difficult as they are not direct employers of this workforce. But this roundtable highlights the value this ‘helicopter view’ across the system can have.’

Healthcare Leader’s roundtable series broadens our intelligence offering for ICBs includes news, views, features and reports.

In July 2022, clinical commissioning groups were dissolved, and their staff were transferred into ICBs. This change was made to shift the way of working from competition to collaboration and bring health and care together. The ICB aims are better health for everyone, better care for all, efficient use of NHS resources, and to enhance the NHS contribution to social and economic regeneration.

ICBs represent the NHS in the wider integrated care partnerships as part of the integrated care systems.

Earlier this year, Healthcare Leader ran a roundtable, bringing together system leaders and experts to discuss the inclusion health groups.

Healthcare Leader aims to support NHS system leaders in taking forward their strategies for the future of health and social care in their places and neighbourhoods.
