NHS Workforce Development: Meeting Health Needs
28th June, Manchester Conference Centre, Manchester

With just three weeks to go places for the NHS Workforce Development places are limited. With the conference examining key topical subjects such as 7 day working, staff wellbeing and the challenges of recruitment and retention the conference will assist both NHS employees and educators developing the future NHS workforce.

The NHS Workforce Development: Meeting Health Needs conference is a timely event to examine how the current workforce is dealing with ever increasing patient demand and how some of the “critical pressures” can be alleviated and individual staff can be supported. The conference agenda will discuss how to develop strategies to overcome some of the challenges such as staff shortages, morale and engagement, recruitment and retention, financial implications, health and wellbeing.

Join us at the NHS Workforce Development: Meeting Health Needs conference where all the current issues and future concerns surrounding workforce development within the NHS will be discussed, dissected and debated.
