  • role of boards
  • role of patients as leaders
  • leadership for culture change
  • leadership across systems of care

This paper is designed to contribute to an effective response by helping senior leaders in health, social care and public health to identify the key workforce implications. 

Its purpose is to inform and stimulate discussion on the changes that the Francis report recommends at a strategic level, as well as providing advice to leaders as they consider how to engage staff to bring about individual change in the workforce.

We highlight the key areas of the Francis report before discussing what the health system would look like in five to ten years’ time if all organisations responded effectively to Francis. This approach is a key feature of how the CfWI is working to engage in long-term strategic thinking and planning.

The CfWI will revisit this thinking after the Government response is published, with a specific focus on how we may further support health and social care leaders in identifying workforce implications.

This CfWI paper is not intended to replace an individual’s own reading and consideration of this landmark report (with its executive summary, three volumes and around 1800 pages); it is intended as a distillation of the 290 recommendations from a workforce perspective. We agree that there is much to learn from the narrative of the report and a great deal to reflect on in terms of people’s own work, attitudes and collective culture (Francis 2013, Executive summary, para 111).

The ESN is the independent network for local public social services in Europe.

It brings together people who design, manage and deliver social services in public authorities across Europe. The ESN supports the development of effective social policy and social care practice through the exchange of knowledge and experience.The ESN offers its members:

  • the chance to learn about current policy and practice trends
  • networking opportunities with other key decision-makers and stakeholders
  • sharing good practice to promote quality services
  • the opportunity to influence European and national policy responses.

John Halloran, ESN Chief Executive said:

We are very happy to be welcoming the Centre for Workforce Intelligence as a member of our network. At the ESN we bring together people who are key to the design and delivery of public social services across Europe to learn from each other; thus we are delighted now to have the UK national authority on workforce planning joining the discussions, and bringing their expertise on how to predict care workforce requirements to meet future challenges.

Rhidian Hughes, Head of social care at the CfWI echoed Mr Halloran's sentiments:

We are delighted to be part of the network and look forward to working in partnership with the ESN on our growing programme of international social care activities.

The aim of this work is to create hard-hitting reports to stimulate thinking in the sector and demonstrate the need for change. The project offers the opportunity to move away from professional silo thinking about workforce planning by looking at these overarching challenges in the context of the whole workforce.

In this report, we used the five domains of the Education Outcomes Framework (EOF) as a template to put forward thought-provoking questions to encourage readers to consider how Health Education England (HEE) and partners could help to address these challenges. As part of this work, we have also produced a set of posters that are also available: Big picture challenge posters

The CfWI provides an easily accessible route for health and social care planners, clinicians and commissioners seeking workforce planning and development expertise to improve health and social care services.

We support long-term and strategic scenario planning for the whole health and social care workforce, based on research, evidence and analysis, in order to build strong leadership and capability in workforce planning.

Download the CfWI brochure here.

The CfWI focuses on three key strategic areas:

1. Providing leadership within the system, helping senior leaders to drive workforce planning, strengthening the influence of workforce planners, and connecting different parts of the system.

  • Strengthening leadership in workforce planning: senior leaders in health and social care are driving workforce planning that is integrated with service and financial planning.
  • Promoting long-range planning: organisations are taking a longer-term view of workforce planning.

2. Providing workforce intelligence to the health and social care system to inform decisions. This intelligence spans the ‘here and now’ through thought leadership, to planning the workforce in 10 to 20 years’ time through the use of foresight techniques.

  • Delivering robust and timely intelligence: the CfWI is the primary source of workforce intelligence for those improving people’s lives in health and social care.
  • Sharing good practice and innovation: workforce planners are accessing, using and contributing to the CfWI's growing and validated body of knowledge.

3. Providing the support, resources and best practice to improve the effectiveness of workforce planning at local, regional and national levels.

  • Improving skills and resources: organisations have the skills and resources they need to plan and develop their workforce.
  • Matching the workforce to patient needs: service delivery has been improved through matching the workforce to patient needs and the CfWI's customers have been supported in improving the productivity and quality of health and social care.

Our Chief Executive

Our Chief Executive, Peter Sharp, is responsible for the CfWI's overall leadership, organisation and management.
