Skilled Workforce

'A better future is possible – and with the right changes, right partnerships, and right investments we know how to get there. That’s because there is broad consensus on what that future needs to be….One that recognises that we cannot deliver the necessary change without investing in our current and future workforce' an extract from the NHS Five Year Forward View

ESR supports the Five Year Forward View and acts as a valuable tool in supporting your HR strategies to address the workforce business challenge.

The NHS ESR Programme recognises that, as employers, you are responsible for ensuring you have sufficient staff with the right skills to care for your patients. It is evident that patients’ needs and expectations are changing, so it is essential for NHS organisations to understand their current and future workforce needs. This will help ensure that you have sufficient and appropriately educated, trained and skilled staff in place to deliver high quality patient care.

With increasing demand on NHS budgets how do you respond to these challenges?...The ESR workforce solution can help you.
