The Interim NHS People Plan have now launched. It is their job to try and launch a brand-new initiative that will help them to tackle the current shortage of healthcare staff who work in England. They are trying to focus on recruiting more nurses and they are also trying to make sure that the NHS is a good place to work. They are trying to pledge 5,700 placements for nursing students and they are also trying to give universities the chance to increase their enrolment numbers. The interim plan however does not outline any costs as to how this is going to be delivered. They have stated that this is going to come when the full plan is released.

If you have some experience working in a nurse agency or even in a nursing recruitment agency, you will know how important this is for the industry. The full plan is going to outline all of the education and even the training that is required for the NHS workforce. The RCN want the government to try and invest at least one billion every single year.

Patricia Marquis has stated that the document is going to start tackling the major issues that are happening in the industry and they are also going to reserve judgement. The NHS and even the people who use it really do deserve a detailed solution and they also need to be given some help with the crisis that is happening right now. They need more support with the legal framework that is present, and they also need to work hard to try and fill up more of the jobs that are open right now. If more isn’t done, then this could cause major problems.
