Big picture challenges for health and social care

Implications for workforce planning, education, training and development

The Department of Health (DH) has commissioned the CfWI to identify the big picture challenges facing health, social care and public health to draw out their workforce implications. The aim of this work is to create hard-hitting reports to stimulate thinking in the sector and demonstrate the need for change. The project offers the opportunity to move away from professional silo thinking about workforce planning by looking at these overarching challenges in the context of the whole workforce.

We have engaged with internal and external experts to build the list of big picture challenges that will be included in this project. These experts have provided a range of perspectives to ensure the list of big picture challenges accurately represents the challenges faced by the health, social care and wider support system.

We have used the five domains of the Education Outcomes Framework (EOF) as a template to put forward thought-provoking questions to encourage readers to consider how Health Education England (HEE) and partners could help to address these challenges. The EOF is a set of the high-level principles and outcomes to achieve quality healthcare through education and training, and will be used by HEE and Local Education and Training Boards (LETBs) as the basis for developing the operating model for education and training, and establishing working arrangements with partners.
