Temporary Staffing Conference 2019

Temporary Staffing Conference 2019

Making the most of bank and agency staff in the NHS

Following the Interim People Plan, this conference is a moment for trusts to come together and consider implications for temporary staffing. Flexible approaches to staffing will be key to making the NHS an employer of excellence and getting the best value for money from the workforce. NHS England and NHS Improvement, in partnership with the Department of Health and Social Care, will bring together HRDs and temporary staffing managers to hear from trusts on how we can make the most of flexible staffing and to engage with national leaders on the future shape of the temporary staffing agenda.
