  1. An Engaged, Motivated and Healthy Workforce
  2. Attraction and Recruitment
  3. Seamless Workforce Models
  4. Building a Digitally Ready Workforce
  5. Excellent Education and Learning
  6. Leadership and Succession
  7. Workforce Supply and Shape

The workstream membership is comprised of representatives from key areas of primary and community care, subject matter experts, and national stakeholders. If you would like further information on the membership, please email SPPC@wales.nhs.uk.

Projects

Each project undertaken by the workstream is endorsed by the workstream group, approved by the Strategic Programme Board then ratified by the NPCB. Associated workforce & OD activity that may impact on primary or community care is also invited to present to the workstream to support alignment and collaboration.  The current projects under development are noted below. If you would like further information on the current Terms of Reference for the workstream, please email SPPC@wales.nhs.uk.

The Strategic Workforce Plan for Primary Care is a collaboration between the SPPC and HEIW and intends, through a series of engagement events, to develop a workforce plan to support and futureproof primary care sustainability. More details on this project can be found on the Strategic Workforce Plan for Primary Care homepage hosted by HEIW.

The Primary and Community Care Compendium Phase 2 project is a continuation of the Phase 1 refresh of a concept originally developed in 2018 by WEDS (Workforce Education and Development Services, now part of HEIW). The key intention being to provide a ‘once for Wales’ platform for the sharing of experience and innovation in delivery of primary and community services through the development of case studies that demonstrate the contribution and value of non-traditional workforce roles and models in improving and facilitating integrated team development and more informed workforce planning decisions.
