More people, working differently, in a compassionate and inclusive culture

This is the clear ambition of the NHS People Plan, the workforce strategy for delivering the Long Term Plan for the NHS.

The People Plan: action for us all, along with Our People Promise, sets out a range of actions to deliver this. These are organised around four pillars:

1. looking after our people – with quality health and wellbeing support for everyone
2. belonging in the NHS – with a particular focus on tackling the discrimination that some staff face
3. new ways of working and delivering care – making effective use of the full range of our people’s skills and experience
4. growing for the future – how we recruit and keep our people, and welcome back colleagues who want to return.
