This project has been commissioned by the Strategic Learning and Research advisory group for health and social care (StLaR) jointly chaired by the Department of Health and the Department for Education and Skills.

 

Phase I of this project took place between September and December 2003.  The objectives for phase I involved the mapping of the health and social care educator/researcher workforce, identifying the nature of the workforce and highlighting current HR issues.  This piece of work represents therefore, a 'snap-shot' of pertinent issues, which is time-limited.

 

This document formed the basis for the content of a series of consultation events around the country during April 2004, the outcomes of which were used to create the StLaR HR Strategy.
