Purpose of the Study:
- To discuss challenges in aligning health and social care staffing with needs.
- To identify barriers and facilitators in workforce planning and development.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of master-classes with health and social care managers.
- Comprehensive literature review on WP&D.
Main Results:
- Major barriers include flawed methodologies and data overload in WP&D.
- Ineffective WP&D leads to suboptimal care and increased costs.
