How Does it Work?
A collaborative staff bank is an effective way of enabling cross-system working across a region, and allows Integrated Care Systems to benefit from streamlined workforce management.
The NHS People Plan encourages organisations to use collaborative bank models to assist in recruiting and deploying staff across geographical areas. By improving the availability and deployment of the clinical workforce via a collaborative bank, to ensure that the right staff are available to patients at all times, patients experience a higher quality of care.
We have both the experience and expertise in supporting NHS organisations to effectively collaborate to deliver improvements in workforce planning and management. Our people, technology and data enable cross-system working, giving medical staff the flexibility to work across different organisations as well as facilitating the sharing of information such as HR records and statutory and mandatory training.
