EIGHT DRIVERS FOR WORKFORCE RETENTION: STRATEGIES FOR HEALTH & CARE

Watch our CPD-accredited webinar on workforce retention

By 2036, the NHS could be missing 360,000 dedicated staff members. That's not just a number - it's countless vital patient interactions, essential procedures, and critical care moments at risk.  In this webinar, ImproveWell colleagues and Dr Na’eem Ahmed uncover eight drivers that can transform how healthcare professionals experience their work. These aren't just theoretical concepts; they're practical levers for change that could help keep our brightest talents where they're needed most. 

Want to build a more resilient NHS? These evidence-based drivers show us exactly where to start. 

Tune in to discover:

  • A framework for workforce retention in healthcare, showcasing practical levers that enable organisations to turn the tide on attrition;
  • Examples of these drivers in action, plus additional insights from our Chief Medical Officer and full-time NHS clinician, Dr Na'eem Ahmed;
  • How workforce retention strategies for healthcare may have been impacted by changing NHS priorities in the last 18 months.
