This People Plan sets out our ambitions for our ‘one workforce’ which includes those working in health, social care, the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, unpaid carers (approximately 400,000 people, as many do not access formal support) and recognises the contribution made by our education sector in developing the current and future workforce.
As well as the online version, you can read or download the People Plan as a PDF, or in a variety of accessible formats.
The health and care system is under unprecedented pressure at the moment and we know that staff are having to work in extremely challenging circumstances.
Staff wellbeing is our priority across the Partnership, and people can and should expect support for their mental health and wellbeing from their line manager and their organisation.
If you work in a health and care environment, and are experiencing feelings that are difficult to cope with, our mental health workers are here to support you now and find the extra help that is right for you.
The service is completely confidential, wherever you work, and offers advice and support that can help with a range of issues.

The Roles Explorer is a collection of resources to support those responsible for planning and delivering workforce redesign to introduce new roles, or innovative adaptations to existing roles already being deployed within a service or system. It provides information on the capabilities, training requirements and career frameworks for different roles, enabling workforce planners to choose the best fit for their service model. It also contains a wealth of resources to support the introduction of new roles, including best practice planning methods and case studies which illustrate how roles are being deployed across different system priorities. Initially including information on roles within Primary Care and Mental Health, the tool will be expanded to incorporate all system priorities over the course of 2021-22.
The MDT Toolkit provides a comprehensive guide on building and developing effective multidisciplinary teams across a broad range of professional groups and system structures. It is designed to be relevant in any setting, to any objective, to progress a ‘one workforce’ approach: a workforce drawn from a range of health and social care disciplines, working seamlessly as a productive, multi-functional team across clinical pathways, for the benefit of patients/service users.
These are just two of the assets provided by the national Workforce Transformation Team. Find out more on the HEE website.
