New body aims to enhance NHS operations managementIn order to assist continuous improvement within the NHS and social care agencies, the Department of Health has announced the formation of a new body.

The government is creating a new organisation that will provide guidance on ensuring that the health sector workforce operates more efficiently and patient care is more people-centred.

Dubbed the Centre for Workforce Intelligence, the body will be headed by Mouchel director of learning and wellbeing Peter Sharp and will facilitate a move towards care in homes and within communities.

Its formation follows a 2008 report on the future of the NHS workforce and the facility will provide best practice examples regarding workforce and demand planning, access to research and expert advice to NHS planners and develop "high quality data, analysis and modelling".

Commenting on the body, health minister Ann Keen said: "The new Centre for Workforce Intelligence will provide an authoritative resource on workforce planning for national and local organisations."

Recent Department of Health figures revealed the number of people seeking jobs in the social care sector has risen to record levels.ADNFCR-3058-ID-19702132-ADNFCR
