Abstract
For the NHS to function well and grow careful future workforce planning is essential to ensure that the right people are there to provide good, safe and quality-assured care. Health care is changing rapidly: user expectations, where and how health care is delivered, pioneering new treatments, development of technology and changes in how professionals work all contribute to the complexities around future workforce planning.
The nursing workforce is the largest professional group within the NHS and has seen numerous changes over the past few decades. The nursing role is rapidly diversifying and historic changes in practice – through extended or expanded clinical practice – have led to a greater focus on advanced nursing practice.
