Source: Facing the Facts, Shaping the Future: A draft health and care workforce strategy
for England to 2027 (Health Education England, December 2017)Do you have a view about the Strategy e.g. about…?
What measures are needed to secure the staff the system needs for the future;
and how can actions already under way be made more effective?
How can we ensure the system more effectively trains, educates and invests in
the new and current workforce?
What more can be done to ensure all staff, starting from the lowest paid, see a
valid and attractive career in the NHS, with identifiable paths and multiple points of
entry and choice?
How can we better ensure the health system meets the needs and aspirations of
all communities in England?
What does being a modern, model employer mean to you and how can we ensure
the NHS meets those ambitions?

www.healthcareers.nhs.uk @HealthCareersUK advice@healthcareers.nhs.ukHealth Careers service – developments
Improved navigation on main Health Careers website autumn 2017
NHS primary school resources – main objective:
➢ To mitigate the risk of primary school age students not considering the NHS
and its professions as a future career opportunity by:
❖ increasing awareness of the NHS as an employer and the jobs people do
❖ challenging gender stereotypical views of health professions, eg men are
doctors and nurses are women
➢ Currently piloting with 60 primary schools across England
Career tool:
➢ Career questionnaire to generate career ideas in the health sector
➢ Accessed through the Career planning section of the Health Careers website
➢ Users answer a number of questions on a like to dislike scale
➢ Hopefully available later in 2018
