Human resources strategy. A working arrangement

Now that the NHS plan's agenda is being turned into action, this series of special reports aims to assess progress in key areas. This report looks at training, a crucial aspect of the government's resolve to ensure NHS staff are treated better. A leadership academy, individual learning accounts for staff and better courses for nurse returners are some of the initiative promised in the plan. The report examines progress in these areas, as well as courses and schemes to help managers make the best of their careers.
