Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Workforce Management
  • Complexity Science in Public Health
  • Socioeconomic Determinants of Health

Background:

  • The National Health Service (NHS) faces critical challenges in recruiting and retaining doctors.
  • These challenges are amplified by an aging population, geographical disparities, and workforce shortages.
  • Traditional linear solutions are inadequate for addressing the complexity of these interconnected issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To frame doctor recruitment and retention as a wicked problem requiring a multidimensional approach.
  • To explore a locally contextualized strategy within the national 'train, retain, reform' framework.
  • To investigate the effectiveness of integrated national policies and local innovations in addressing workforce inequalities.

Main Methods:

  • Case study of Anglia Ruskin University School of Medicine in Essex.
  • Analysis of initiatives including the Medical Degree Doctor Apprenticeship.
  • Examination of targeted outreach programs and collaboration with NHS England for local foundation training posts.

Main Results:

  • Locally contextualized strategies can address workforce disparities in socioeconomically disadvantaged regions.
  • Initiatives foster local retention of healthcare professionals.
  • Adaptive, non-linear solutions integrating national policies with local innovations are effective.

Conclusions:

  • Sustainable improvements in doctor recruitment and retention require distributed control and interdependent systemic interventions.
  • Stakeholder collaboration is crucial for effective workforce strategies.
  • Addressing local recruitment challenges contributes to reducing health inequalities through local agency within a national framework.
