Workforce Transformation Services

As experts in strategic workforce change, we offer a menu of services to help you identify and implement the most productive ways to deliver high quality care.

When you are looking to deliver services in a new or different way, we can help you understand the current shape and status of your workforce. We can present you with options on how it could be improved, and provide practical implementation plans to help you achieve the gold standard.

To do this, we use a systematic and proven competence based approach, developed with healthcare employers. This approach centres on the needs of the patient and offers an objective and evidence-based approach to optimise your workforce for the services you need. It is fully scalable and can be implemented across any size workforce from teams to whole services, or even multiagency pathways.

The menu can be implemented as a whole system or a bespoke menu, from which we can help you to select the most relevant elements for your organisation.

Role redesign service - for exceptional productivity gains

Our established methodology takes the guesswork out of designing and redesigning roles, providing clarity around the skills and competences needed by a post holder.

We use national standards to define roles, making it easier for you to identify appropriate training and comply with governance requirements. We work with you to offer recommendations; implementation and evaluation of roles that we believe will address your particular local needs, from reducing waiting times to delivering specific cost savings.

Through analysing and mapping your care pathways, we can help you describe them in clear, objective and functional terms using national standards. This is essential for the effective commissioning of services, the exploration of different workforce options and identifying new cost-effective approaches for service delivery.

Customised career frameworks service - to increase workforce flexibility

By mapping the competence requirements of local roles, we can help you build a ‘career framework’ that will make recruitment, staff transfers and development a more open and objective process, and allow you to increase the flexibility of your workforce.

A career framework based around your priorities and workforce needs can also improve the commissioning of education and training as you tackle current and predicted skills gaps.

Local career frameworks can be developed on an organisational or cross-organisational level supporting enhanced working across boundaries.

Objective workforce review service - a catalyst for change

If your organisation wants or needs to start doing things differently and is looking for the best place to start initiating change, this review is essential. The review quickly diagnoses your current workforce situation and provides a foundation for effective future workforce transformation.

It will specifically:

• establish whether your workforce strategy reaps the benefits of current best practice
• illustrate potential skills gaps and effectively identify ways to tackle them
• recommend future workforce development options.

Care pathway analysis and workforce mapping services - get the fundamentals in place

We can work with your clinical staff through analysing functions and mapping your care pathways. This will help you describe them in clear, objective and functional terms using national standards.

This is essential for effective commissioning of services, the exploration of different workforce options and identifying new cost-effective approaches for service delivery.

We can help you take action on any of these options whether they are new roles, different team composition or targeted skills development.
