The ongoing workforce challenges faced by the NHS are well documented. NHS Vacancy Statistics are at a five year high, the workforce is growing, but not rapidly enough to keep up with increasing demand for healthcare services.
For many NHS organisations vacancies remain one of their biggest concerns, with over 112,000 posts unfilled substantively in June 2023. The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan has set Commissioners and Providers the challenge of ensuring health systems have enough staff in place to deliver high-quality care for patients, as well as developing sustainable services for the future.
Attracting and retaining a highly engaged workforce is becoming more challenging than ever before and the NHS is operating in an increasingly competitive labour market. To support our local, regional and national client base, Arden & GEM deliver two resourcing offers that provide an effective and cost-efficient alternative to private sector recruitment consultancies.
Designed by the NHS, specifically to help NHS organisations ensure they have the resources they need when they need it, we offer two services, click on the buttons below to find out more:
