NHS Workforce Planning

In late September we partnered-up with the College Development Network to host a conference on the future of Scotland’s care workforce. The conference brought together a capacity audience of just under 100 senior management and workforce leads from across Scotland’s social care services – including health and social care partnerships, independent and third sector care providers, the NHS and Scotland’s colleges.

The event explored the following key themes:

• Integration and the changing models of social care delivery
• the shared challenges and opportunities this presents to Scotland’s care workforce
• the new national care standards and how colleges and service providers can work together to ensure workforce training and skillsets meet evolving care service needs and re-design
• developing attractive career pathways in care
• a career in care in 2025 – the skillsets required for our future care workers

The keynote address was delivered by Richard Robinson, Audit Manager at Audit Scotland. Here, as part of our ongoing conversation around health and social care, we feature a short video of Richard’s talk recorded and edited by our colleagues at CDN.
