At the heart of what we do is fostering collaboration across the NHS to achieve excellence in workforce operational, clinical, and financial performance.
In line with NHS England’s Productivity and Efficiency programme, the NHS Workforce Alliance is proud to support trusts in meeting national, regional, and local expenditure targets. Through tailored support and resources, we help trusts effectively manage workforce costs, reduce reliance on agency staffing, and optimise the use of both permanent and temporary staff. This collaborative approach demonstrates our shared commitment to enhancing financial sustainability with workforce, while ensuring that high standards of patient care remain at the forefront of everything we do.
