  5. Workforce  

 

Project Objectives

  • Identify and progress workforce requirements resulting from the service redesign and implementation of new care models
  • Develop workforce strategies which are consistent with national and local strategy.
  • Ensure workforce strategies are consistent, reflect best practice and effective clinical governance, and are evidence based.
  • Identify and work with the partner organisations and their staff to implement the new working processes minimising duplication of effort, which results in seamless working directly benefiting patient care.
  • Inform the SRFT Hospital Redevelopment Project, Salford LIFT Project, Service Change Management and Delivery Project and Salford IM&T Project of any critical issues identified in workforce requirements that may affect delivery of projects.
  • Liaise with external education providers to ensure future capacity matches the new roles and skills required.

Ultimately the key measure of success is the improvement in the health and well-being of the population of Salford through a well managed motivated workforce that possess all the relevant skills and competencies to meet the needs of the job roles identified and performed.

  • The effectiveness of the workforce to delivery improved health care in the community
  • Improved Access of patients to health care professionals
  • Improved environment
  • Efficiency and productivity gains from implementing new ways of working
