The benefits of a collaborative workforce

“Alignment and Collaboration are key pillars of the NHS People Plan. Embracing this collaborative way of working will enable us to build resilience into our workforce, at the time where our hospitals most need it.

By adopting a collaborative model supported by a technology provider, the 10 Trusts will be able to digitise their processes, with the required administrative tasks being quicker and more transparent, allowing for better planning.”
