RCP Cymru Wales response to the HEIW education and training plan 2023-24

Produced by:

RCP Cymru Wales has published its response to the Health Education and Improvement Wales education and training plan 2023/24. 

Key recommendations

  • Not enough visible progress has been made on NHS workforce planning. 
  • Stakeholder engagement in developing workforce plans has been very limited. 
  • It is unclear how the workforce strategy will complement the national clinical framework.
  • Workforce planning must become more strategic and nationally led by HEIW. 
  • An independent NHS Wales Executive could help to improve accountability. 
  • Data collection must improve and become more transparent.
  • We would welcome more engagement and opportunity to collaborate with HEIW.
