Everyone Matters: 2020 Workforce Vision Summary of engagement and consultation responses

To provide a summary of the engagement and consultation with stakeholders on the development of Everyone Matters: 2020 Workforce Vision.


Summary

In overall terms, we can evidence that at least 9,674 individual NHSScotland staff member views have informed the development of the 2020 Workforce Vision (6.2% of the NHSScotland headcount as at 31st December 2012).

This figure does not include details of those who provided input during early engagement, nor levels of participation within a number of Boards (from either the initial engagement or subsequent consultation phase) for which we cannot currently account. However, we can be reasonably confident in assuming that, with these additional figures, the final 2020 Workforce Vision launched at the 2013 NHSScotland will have been informed by the views of at least 10,000 members of staff, as well as a good spread of wider key stakeholder organisations and groups.

This has been potentially the most extensive NHSScotland-wide exercise in listening to staff and seeking their qualitative feedback to shape our strategic direction, and has been achieved within what has been a challenging timeframe.

Beyond the key themes referred to above which have informed the development of a 2020 Workforce Vision, a wealth of additional suggestions were received which will undoubtedly help to inform our thoughts as we move towards implementation. Furthermore, we remain committed to ongoing communication and engagement with staff as we develop the 'how' and make our 2020 Workforce Vision real.
