Career planning for everyone in the NHS : the toolkit

Everyone working within the NHS needs well informed careers advice, information, guidance and counselling throughout their working life but they rarely get it.

Now, however, there is a great deal more interest in career development, especially since recruitment and retention has become so difficult.

Career Planning for Everyone in the NHS focuses on employee strengths.

It will help line managers and appraisers feel confident in providing practical careers support, boosting staff satisfaction, evaluating employee competence and analysing staff expertise.

It will also assist healthcare trusts in planning and investing resources for supporting career development, which will in turn assist in the development of policy for an effective NHS workforce.
