Managing and Reducing Bank and Agency Staff in Nursing
19 Jan 2016
About the event
The use of bank and agency staffing in nursing is a critical and costly issue for the NHS. NHS Employers recently stated that “A planned, flexible mix of substantive and temporary staff can deliver cost savings and a high-quality patient experience”. This conference focuses on managing and reducing bank and agency staffing in nursing through delivering a tailored and flexible workforce strategy. This issue will only become more important with the drive to 7 day working in the NHS therefore it is critical that organisations understand where bank and agency staff fit within nursing staffing, skill mix and workforce development overall. The conference will include national updates, practical case studies and extended interactive sessions focusing on the tools, strategies and systems that can help you to deliver an effective nursing workforce strategy that makes the most of substantive staff through flexible working. The conference will also look at ensuring patient safety when bank and agency staff are used and how organisations can support these staff to ensure high quality patient care.
