£210 million funding boost for frontline NHS staff

Package of support to train and retain NHS nurses

The chancellor has today announced a new multi-million pound package of support to train and retain the nurses the NHS needs as part of the Spending Round.

The funding will mean Every nurse, midwife and allied health professional working across NHS hospital and community care and general practice will have access to a personal training budget of more than £1,000 over three years to support their personal learning and development needs.

Commenting on the announcement, Chief Nursing Officer for England, Dr Ruth May said:

“More staff, working in rewarding jobs and supportive environments, will be key to delivering the improvements for patients we set out in the NHS Long Term Plan. The nurses, midwives, care workers and other staff I speak to across England tell me time and again how important ongoing training is when they are thinking about their next career move, so I know today’s signal of intent will be welcomed across the health service.”

Enabling staff movement between NHS organisations

New toolkit for employers

The interim People Plan set out our ambition for an increasingly multidisciplinary and adaptive workforce who can deliver care across primary, community and acute care. To deliver this we need to remove practical barriers to movement of staff between organisations. This toolkit is the first step of this free movement.

Enabling staff movement allows staff to temporarily work in different NHS settings and provide continuity of care to patients when necessary. It removes the need for them to spend up to two days on staff inductions and other introductory administration on arrival.

To support this, we have published a new toolkit which provides examples of where NHS organisations have successfully implemented passporting agreements to share their workforce across organisations and systems as and when the need arises.

The toolkit signposts users to NHS Employers’ recent comprehensive guidance covering everything employers need to address; provides sample ‘warranty’ text that organisations can consider using, as modified appropriately; and gives examples of agreements already operating in the NHS that among other things, show how indemnity can be covered.

You find out more and download the toolkit here
