@LizBrewster : interesting talk about doctor recruitment and retention in England as a "placed based problem" #HSRUK23

One of the key findings from Lincolnshire case study: Location matters in medicine! People we talked to so far emphasised the importance of curating local knowledge & personal/institutional values being aligned (or not!) #HSRUK23

We’re at #HSRUK23 and our @LizBrewster talking about how NHS recruitment and retention is a “placed-based” problem and how health (outcome) inequalities are unequally distributed

Today we have launched the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan. It builds on initiatives already happening in the NHS to boost training and improve retention by working differently, in a compassionate and inclusive culture. Find out more. ⬇️

Chief Workforce, Training and Education Officer, @NavinaEvans talks about what the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan means for the NHS workforce. "The long term workforce plan is a once in a generation opportunity to put the workforce on a sustainable footing" orlo.uk/d0aTP

@MappingDoctors great discussion with the steering group for this project - reminder of our website for more information lancaster.ac.uk/mappingdoctors/ @LizBrewster @DrCliffShelton @GrandCamouflage @RilesinWales @NIHRresearch

It's our responsibility to ensure that our diverse workforce truly has an equitable experience at work regardless of any protected characteristic. This plan outlines how we intend to do this orlo.uk/Y0SWL #NHS #NHSE #EDI

👏🏻 Our biographical interviews with doctors so far show how incredibly important the institutional culture is in doctors’ job satisfaction - diversity and inclusion are key 🙌🏻

Excited to share exploratory findings from the first set of interviews in Lincolnshire, which is proven to be extremely rich data exploring career trajectories & much much more! @LizBrewster

Good to flag how our mixed methods/multi-workpackage study design allow us to be sensitive to new angles and additional questions to interrogate @LizBrewster

Great to share our study site selection rationale & research questions with @NHS_HealthEdEng team expertly delivered by @LizBrewster – we found lots of common grounds and exchanging helpful feedback has been great!
