Notice Information

Notice Title

Economic Retention Model - Health Education England - NHS/SoEPS/16.310

Notice Description

In 2016 HEE undertook work to develop a retention model to demonstrate at STP, Local office and National level the potential economic benefits of a range of scenarios focused on the health and social care workforce. Models were developed for the nursing and midwifery professions and enabled a demonstration of the potential benefits and cost savings associated with various approaches to better retention of students and staff, and related reductions in the need to fill workforce gaps with temporary staff. Through engagement with STPs, NHS trusts individually and wider stakeholders across the system, HEE have identified an appetite and need for, and the potential benefit of, similar models for professions within the medical, allied health professions, primary and social care workforce. Currently, there is an established workforce planning process for HEE. Within this process, numbers of candidates that are recruited into training by the higher education system in the first instance are considered, along with factors such as on-going attrition at subsequent points before entry into the labour market. This incorporates non-completion of training, non-entry into the profession upon graduation, and migration out of the region. Challenges within the current system around costs saving and targets for the reduction in the use of agency staff, development of shared bank functions, and initiatives to retain staff will be supported by modelling to demonstrate the potential costs, impact and benefits of these. Therefore further development of the existing model is required. The work will be split into three units. Upon completion of the 1st unit the business case will be re-visited to ensure viability before progressing to the next stage. Stages: 1. Medical - focusing on the following specialties: Clinical Radiology, Emergency Medicine, Paediatrics, Obstetrics, Trauma & Orthopaedics 2. Allied Health Professions - focusing on the following professions: Occupational Health, Physiotherapy, Radiography (diagnostic & therapeutic), Chiropody, Speech & Language Therapy and Dietetics. 3. Primary and Social Care Key elements to be addressed at each stage will be: * Development of National model * Development of 13 local models that can be aggregated into the above * Development of STP level models to be aggregated into the above * Delivery of analysis for a suite of scenarios * Validation and engagement This procurement relates to the first stage: Medical - focusing on the following specialties: Clinical Radiology, Emergency Medicine, Paediatrics, Obstetrics, Trauma & Orthopaedics Additional information: Bidders are invited to access the procurement documentation at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning. The deadline for submission of completed ITT submissions is Tuesday 7th February 2017 at 12:00pm (midday).
