It’s no news that the healthcare workforce is facing major challenges. There has been increasing recognition that health system effectiveness and improvements in population health are critically dependent on an appropriately skilled, supported and deployed healthcare workforce.

At the University of Plymouth, we train and support professionals across almost every different healthcare group, providing the largest range of healthcare programmes in the South West.

Our world-leading research investigates workforce sustainability, seeking to address the critical questions and develop tangible solutions that have an international impact.

We’ll share the latest research around education, recruitment, retention, and regulation of healthcare professionals that address real-life concerns for the sector, with discussions and Q&A’s for the audience to delve into the topics at hand.

This is a unique opportunity to engage with the cutting-edge research that spans so many areas in one place, providing a vital platform to understanding what works – and what doesn’t – in sustaining the healthcare workforce.
