<p>The Long Term Workforce Plan (LTWP) sets out how we will meet the workforce challenges
of the future. This includes a plan to improve retention and ensure up to 130,000
fewer staff leave the National Health Service by improving culture, leadership and
wellbeing. We will build on what we know works, for example ensuring staff can work
flexibly, have access to wellbeing support, and work in well-led teams. This will
apply to all NHS staff, including those working in trauma, orthopaedics and rheumatology.</p><p>There
are currently record numbers of staff working in the NHS and we are backing the LTWP
by investing over £2.4 billion to deliver more doctors, nurses and other healthcare
professionals. This includes doubling the number of medical school training places
and increasing adult nursing training places by 92%. The LTWP commits to ensuring
that growth in specialty training will be commensurate with the growth in undergraduate
medical training to ensure the NHS workforce is able to meet the changing needs of
the population in the next 15 years, which will include trauma, orthopaedics and rheumatology.</p>
