Primary care cluster workforce planning
The approach to workforce planning in primary care was developed as a pilot. In partnership with two GP clusters and Skills for Health, the pilot aimed to provide a simplified methodology for practices and clusters to use to create their workforce plans and to support the requirements of the cluster integrated medium-term plans.
The approach is based on the six steps methodology, but breaks the process down into a set of four questions:
- How do we get started?
- Where are we now?
- Where do we want to be?
- How are we going to get there?
A number of resources have been developed to support workforce planning at cluster level;
