| Annotation | This is one of ten background papers providing detailed analysis and support for the report, Engaging With Care: A Vision For The Health And Care Workforce Of England, published by the Nuffield Trust in September 2007. The report, together with the set of background papers, provides an analysis of current policies and trends and identifies routes for future action. The report identifies trends and challenges that can help define the common ground in health and care policy, while allowing for different policy directions at national and local levels. The aim of the literature review presented in this paper. was to identify: the size, demographics and distribution of the present health and social care workforce; issues involved in the recruitment, training and retention of professionals; the role and effectiveness of centralised workforce planning; and future trends in staffing health and social care programmes. Keyword searches were performed using Web of Knowledge. The bulk of the paper is an annotated bibliography of the literature reviewed. (RH) |
