⢠To ensure the organisation can deliver its business objectives, contributing
to delivering safe, caring, effective and efficient services
⢠Prevent staffing crises and shortfalls in service
⢠Make best use of current staff
⢠Develop new and flexible roles

⢠Able to respond flexibly to future changes
Why do you need to do it?

⢠What is the current demand for the service?
⢠Do we understand who will be accessing the service? Have their needs been taken into
account?
⢠Have we scoped out the wider implications of 7 day service e.g. impact on Pharmacies,
transport etc.
⢠What are the workforce implications? What is the gap? Are there any hotspots we need to
take into consideration?
⢠What is the baseline position and how can we identify early learning from best practice?
⢠What skills and competences are required to deliver 7 day service?
Assessing Demand (whatâs needed)
9. www.hee.nhs.ukwww.wm.hee.nhs.uk
⢠What workforce do we currently have in place to deliver 7 day service?
⢠What skills and competences do the workforce have? What is the gap between what has been
identified and what is needed?
⢠Have the new ways of working or new roles in developing 7 day service be explored?
⢠Data quality (ESR)
⢠Are turnover, sickness, vacancy, bank and agency spend being monitored and understood?
Assessing Supply (whatâs available)
10. www.hee.nhs.ukwww.wm.hee.nhs.uk
⢠How well do the current skills, roles and numbers match the expected service need?
⢠Has scenario modelling been undertaken to understand the best and worse case scenario?
⢠What are the timescales for delivery? Has this been mapped to the NHS England guidance?
⢠Have any solutions to the issues outlined within 7 day service e.g. Education Commissioning,
New roles / new ways of working. Physician Associates, Advanced Practice been considered?
Example: Emergency Medicine

It is a huge task, its not short term fixes
HOWEVER,
It is achievable if the system works together and shares best practice
