<p>Health Education England (HEE) published its first ever Cancer Workforce Plan in
December 2017, which commits to the expansion of capacity and skills including an
ambition to increase improved working practices, attracting qualified people back
to the National Health Service through domestic and international recruitment. This
will include 668 more, full time equivalent, clinical radiologists and investing in
300 reporting radiographers by 2021 to support an increase in the capacity for earlier
diagnosis.</p><p> </p><p>HEE intends to follow the plan later this year with a longer-term
strategy that looks at the workforce needs beyond 2021. This will include exploring
sustainable growth beyond 2021 in key professions through continued investment in
training places, with a greater focus on attracting and retaining students and improving
the numbers of qualified professionals who go on to work in the NHS.</p>
