<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.</p><p>There are a number of key
national programmes aimed at supporting regions, integrated care boards (ICBs), and
providers with recruitment challenges, and growing the workforce. For example, the
Overhauling Recruitment programme aims to overhaul and modernise National Health Service
recruitment, 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 (ICS), which
are made up of ICBs and integrated care partnerships, regions, NHS trusts, and organisations,
to improve employee experience and retain their people, thereby reducing NHS staff
leaver rates.</p><p> </p><p>Support for organisations and ICS 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 to support the retention agenda in each of the seven regions.</p>
