NHS Long Term Workforce Plan

NHS England has published the first ever NHS Long Term Workforce Plan –  a plan developed by the NHS, backed by investment from government and created in collaboration with our staff and experts.

The plan will deliver the biggest increase in training numbers in our 75-year history with record numbers of nurses, doctors, dentists, allied health professionals and other key healthcare staff to address the gaps in the current workforce and meet the challenge of a growing and ageing population.
