Masters Degree Description

As healthcare staff move up through the levels, workplace planning is increasingly a topic on the minds of effective managers and is one of the key areas of development within health and social care.

Additionally, succession planning, talent development and retirement planning are all necessary processes to ensure effective service delivery in healthcare.

Good workforce planning can play an important role in supporting the health and social care sectors to meet their service and productivity targets by ensuring that the ‘right people are in the right jobs at the right time.'

For workforce planning to be effective, it is important to have people with the right skills who can efficiently deliver this crucial work in the health and social care sectors.
