Planning a Child Health Workforce for the Future by the clinicians of the future
Methods: SWOT analysis by paediatric middle grade doctors of three possible reconfigura;on op;ons
1. Trained doctor solu;on
2. Closing more hospitals
3. Junior doctor recruitment
Dr. Damian Roland – Chair of Trainees CommiEee – RCPCH and Running Horse Group Dr. Ronny Cheung, Dr. Kate Pryde and Dr. Sebas;an Yuen – Running Horse Group Execu5ve Dr. Carol Ewing – RCPCH Workforce Officer Ms Halcyon Edwards – Managing Director – HRM Enterprises Mr MaEhew Bluck – Managing Director – Kendall Bluck Consul5ng
Background: There is a percep;on that trainees -‐ those most affected by the future delivery of Child Health Services -‐ appear to be least engaged in its evolu;on. The Running Horse Group is a small but rapidly developing network of paediatricians, both trainees and consultants, whose aim, amongst others, is to address that issue. “Planning a Child Health Workforce for the future” a half-‐day series of lectures and workshops held in late 2010, was the first step in this process. It was held in collabora;on with the RCPCH and the Greater Manchester Children, Young People and Families’ NHS Network [CYPFN]. This poster shows the outputs from a workshop on ‘Reconfigura<on in environments averse to change’
RHG The Running Horse Group Improving the quality of health care for children: Giving clinicians of the present the skills to be leaders of the future
Results: Are demonstrated in three key areas
Conclusions: This novel strategy of engagement has demonstrated that, if harnessed properly, the energy & experience of trainees can be a valuable resource. Although not recommenda;ons it is hoped the outcomes of the workshops, par;cularly regarding reconfigura;on, will be taken forward by both the RCPCH and trusts. We recommend the CfWI consider how the future workforce will engage with new and innova;ve service provision models in the planning algorithms.
