Abstract:
Research can contribute to resolving some of the workforce challenges that all heath care systems face. In an attempt to identify the research agenda, key stakeholders in the UK were brought together and background papers were presented by academics with expertise in seven related but distinct areas: global issues; professional boundaries; education; regulation; workplaces; professional-patient interaction; and organisation and management. The research questions identified in each area are described along with some methodological challenges. It is hoped that this will encourage research in this crucial area of health services by facilitating a coherent approach to the diverse needs identified.
