<p>The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan sets out how we will meet the workforce needs
of the future, through increasing training numbers and reforming training, working
differently, and taking action to retain more staff. The plan recommends that integrated
care boards (ICBs) and wider system partners prioritise actions that drive recruitment
and retention of multi-disciplinary teams, in a one workforce approach.</p><p>There
are a number of key national programmes aimed at supporting regions, ICBs, and providers
with recruitment challenges, in growing the workforce. For example, the Overhauling
Recruitment programme aims to overhaul and modernise National Health Service recruitment
by encouraging innovation and wider access into NHS careers, supporting the growth
of a diverse and skilled workforce to meet future demands on healthcare. NHS England
will soon be engaging with ICBs and providers to support and enable this transformational
change, as it prepares to publish the overhauling recruitment strategic delivery framework.</p><p>The
NHS Long Term Workforce Plan also sets out how to improve culture and leadership to
ensure that up to 130,000 fewer staff leave the NHS over the next 15 years. Key to
this is the National Retention Programme. The programme builds on the NHS People Promise,
and supports integrated care systems (ICSs), which are made up of ICBs and integrated
care partnerships, regions, NHS trusts, and organisations, to improve employee experience
and retain their people, and thereby reduce the NHS staff leaver rates.</p><p> </p><p>Support
for organisations and ICSs can be accessed via the Retention Hub, which outlines initiatives
mapped against the People Promise, access to tools, guides, and case studies to enable
improvements and contact details for regional colleagues support the retention agenda
in each of the seven regions. Further information is available at the following link:</p><p>
