Recruitment and retention challenges continue to be a priority for both public and independent sector health and social care providers. This focus, alongside the need to create a more multi-disciplinary, multi-professional and digitally savvy workforce, to meet the increasing needs of a growing and ageing population, means that it is now imperative that healthcare providers are creating a health and social care workforce for 21st Century care.

In this Workforce Forum, we will be exploring how to frame this challenge and what some of the solutions might be for the most forward-looking healthcare providers.

We are delighted to announce three speakers with particular insights into different aspects of this challenge:

Patrick Mitchell, Director of Innovation and Transformation, Health Education England

He is SRO for the workforce redesign chapter within the People Plan. Patrick has worked in a number of Board level operational roles across London before joining HEE in 2013 where he moved from joint senior roles in Department of Health and Medical Education England. He has also worked for PwC in California.
