Why an integrated model of workforce planning?
The confusing fragmentation of professionals representing various organisations that deal with patients, clients, parents and carers has not delivered effective or efficient care.
Multi-agency approaches, driven by critical analysis of past failures to protect vulnerable children and the need to simplify the client/patient experience, characterise strategic initiatives like Every Child Matters and Choosing Health. The shift in thinking recognises the need to address complex and overlapping needs with an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach.
