Workforce planning by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Health Committee Pdf
Staffing costs account for 70 per cent of NHS funding and the effectiveness of its workforce in large part determines the overall effectiveness of the health service. Workforce planning is the key means for the NHS to understand and anticipate the impact of demographic, technological and policy trends on future service requirements. However, workforce planning in also a challenging and complex issue, in light of social and technological changes, as well as the lengthy timescale involved in training staff (at least three years for most health professions and up to twenty years for some senior doctors). The Committee's report examines the effectiveness of current workforce planning activities, including clinical and managerial staff, particularly in the light of reported deficits in NHS organisations, and how it should be done in the future, including the following issues: workforce developments since 1999, the impact of the European Work Time Directive and increasing international competition for staff, retention and recruitment issues, examples of good practice, how to ensure flexibility in system arrangements, and whether planning should be centralised or decentralised.
What is the relationship between politics and health policy in the UK? How are the interests of the medical profession, civil society and the state weighed and balanced in the making of health policy? Health Policy and Politics offers a sophisticated critical analysis of policy-making in the National Health Service. The team of contributors comprises established academics who have been actively involved in both research and policy-making in this field. They examine the 'macro' level of policy-making at governmental level, and then consider professional institutional relationships and struggles, and interpersonal decision-making and power relations within small organizations and departments. Unique in the variety of perspectives and topics covered, the volume will be required reading for those teaching and studying on a range of courses in health, social care and public policy, and for health professionals within the NHS.
The electronic patient record by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Health Committee Pdf
In England, implementing Electronic patient record (EPR) systems is one of the main aims of the 10-year National Programme for Information Technology (NPfIT). The main plank of the NPfIT programme is the NHS Care Records Service (NCRS) which will create two separate EPR systems: a national Summary Care Record (SCR), containing basic information, and local Detailed Care Records (DCRs), containing more comprehensive clinical information. NCRS will also include a Secondary Uses Service (SUS) which will provide access to aggregated data for management, research and other 'secondary' purposes. On the SCR, this report finds: a lack of clarity about what information will be contained; consent arrangements for creating and adding information have not been well communicated to patients or clinicians; important components have not yet been completed; maintaining security is a serious challenge. The DCR systems are to replace local IT systems across the NHS, but the report points to delays in trials and implementation, difficulty in establishing either the level of information sharing that will be possible, or how sophisticated local IT applications will be. There has also been a lack of local involvement in delivering the project, with hospitals often left out of negotiations between Connecting for Health (the body delivering NPfIT) and suppliers, leading to a lack of enthusiasm for deploying the systems. The Committee recommends Connecting for Health focuses on setting and ensuring compliance with technical and clinical standards for NHS IT systems, allowing local users the final say over which system is procured and how it is implemented. The report points to some notable successes too: agreement on a universal coding language for the NHS, and a single unique patient identifier, the NHS number; and the potential for the SUS and health research is significant.

Retooling for an Aging America by Institute of Medicine,Board on Health Care Services,Committee on the Future Health Care Workforce for Older Americans Pdf
As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs.

Social Work in Northern Ireland by Heenan, Deirdre,Birrell, Derek Pdf
Over the past 40 years, social work in Northern Ireland has been responsive to a number of changing contexts and environments. Throughout 'the Troubles,' social workers had to develop methods of ensuring services were delivered in spite of the surrounding violence and civil disturbance. At the same time, they developed imaginative and creative new services in response to needs and demands. This book outlines the historical development of social work in Northern Ireland, looking at what has been achieved and analyzing the challenges for the future. It considers the role of social work in a society emerging from conflict, facing demographic, technological, and economic changes. Social work in Northern Ireland has been dismissed by policy makers and academics as unique, special, or different, and therefore not worthy of attention. This book demonstrates that international audiences have much to learn from the social work response to a changing political landscape.
The Economics of the UK Health and Social Care Labour Market by Robert Elliott Pdf
Three million workers delivered health and social care in the UK in 2019, accounting for a tenth of the workforce. These frontline workers were the nurses, doctors, adult care workers, and Allied Health Professions that worked in our hospitals, GP practices, and care homes. Spending on this workforce is the largest single item of cost on health and social care, with fifty percent of the current spend of a typical UK hospital going on its frontline workforce. The Economics of the UK Health and Social Care Labour Market details the size, occupational composition, geographical coverage, and growth of this workforce. Here, Robert Elliott explains why people work in frontline care and what drives the demand for these workers, details the heavy dependence of UK health and social care on foreign trained workers and explores its consequences, and considers how the labour market for frontline workers operates, how these workers' pay is set, and what has happened to it in recent years. Elliott explores the reasons for the acute shortage of some key frontline occupations and explains why economic theory is essential to understanding the way this labour market works and to constructing coherent and effective policy. Finally, the book proposes policies to improve the efficiency of this market and to resolve the problems that currently plague it.
