Our integrated workforce plan for Dudley’s primary care networks reflects their ethos, supports sustainability of primary care and reflects new career pathways and clinical models.
The Transformation Unit was asked to generate a comprehensive plan for maximising the roll‑out of the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme across the six local primary care networks in Dudley to help to meet the needs of the local population.
Our multiskilled team of workforce, engagement and analytical experts adopted a robust population and place based approach to workforce planning to ensure the clinical model had the right numbers, skills, values and behaviours to deliver high quality care closer to the Dudley population.
Through stakeholder engagement, application of intelligence regarding the networks, place, population and workforce we triangulated service, finance and workforce priorities to develop future workforce design principles which informed the development of an Integrated Workforce Plan.
The plan places a real emphasis on the need to develop new ways of working and new roles to meet the needs of the population now and in the future.
