The priorities of the NHS met in second annual Workforce Plan for England Today we publish our second Workforce Plan for England, which sets out the £5bn investment we will make in education and training programmes for 2015/16.
It is built upon the needs of local employers, commissioners and other stakeholders who, as members of our Local Education Training Boards (LETBs), have shaped the thirteen local plans that are the bedrock of this plan for England. The priorities in the plan are the priorities of the NHS, identified locally and nationally by employers, colleges and other stakeholders.
This plan has allowed us to significantly expand the future workforce in key priority areas, such as nursing, paramedic, primary care and emergency medicine.
It also:
We have also decided again to continue growing the nurse workforce available to the NHS. Last year we increased commissions by 9% and this year we add another 555 training posts, a further increase of 4.2% meaning we will have invested in 13% growth over two years. On top of this our Return to Practice campaign brought nearly 800 nurses back into the system whilst also reducing attrition amongst nursing students in our Universities; introducing recruiting for values and pre-degree care experience to ensure the nurses we create have the right values and behaviours. A focus on the nursing workforce in all its facets like never before.
Professor Ian Cumming, Chief Executive, Health Education England said:
“In order to transform the health service we need more investment in our existing workforce.
We have protected our budget for workforce transformation and have increased post-registration specialist nurse commissions by nearly 1,400, advanced clinical practice commissions by more than 1,500, and grown apprenticeships by more than 600.
We are starting to commission for the future in line with the Five Year Forward View, particularly the need to provide services in the community in line with patient need for the future whilst also making a difference to the NHS now.”

- explains how these decisions were made;
- provides the aggregate number of commissions for each profession and the trend increases and decreases within and between key groups;
- provides detailed analysis for a small number of priority areas and professions, setting out what we are doing to address immediate workforce pressures, the education and training commissions we are making for the future, and the actions we are taking to support further transformation.
