Workforce planning and development for NHSScotland,
together with the linked development of workforce information
systems, is taken forward at both regional and NHS Board level,
as well as national level.
Regional leads
Regional workforce leads and their teams take forward regional
workforce strategies, including regional workforce planning
and delivery of the Workforce Information Strategy, in three
regions:
- North (comprising Shetland, Orkney, the Western Isles,
Highland, Grampian and Tayside)
- East (comprising Lothian, Fife and the Borders)
- West (comprising Greater Glasgow, Argyll and Clyde, Lanarkshire,
Forth Valley, Dumfries and Galloway and Ayrshire and Arran)
The regional workforce leads are forging regional approaches
to planning and deploying the workforce, using joint working
between Boards to bring regional solutions to workforce and
service challenges that cannot be met by individual Boards
working alone.
In doing so they are building up a bank of workforce infomation
at regional level to support and inform their work.
The regional leads are:
NHS Board workforce leads are leading workforce planning
and development at NHS Board level, working closely with the
regional workforce teams.
They are building workforce planning expertise in each Board
and developing the workforce information systems required
to carry out effective workforce planning and maintain a rolling
evidence-base to inform and support their work.
Effective workforce planning and development for NHSScotland,
and the associated development of workforce information systems,
depends on continuous two-way dialogue between the Board,
regional and national levels.
This ensures that national-level work is informed by effective
intelligence from the ground, and, conversely, that Board-level
work can gain from a clear understanding of the national and
regional contexts.
