Objective 4: Build the workforce
Workforce planning and training is about ensuring that the Midland region has the right number of health professionals who are well skilled and display good collegial behaviours.
Workforce planning and training is a key enabler to ensure Midland DHBs deliver quality healthcare (as defined in objective 3) and to protect and promote health and wellness. The Midland region has over 10,000 full-time equivalents employed by the DHBs to provide healthcare to its populations. The health workforce is large and complex and requires sound strategic planning in order to maximise the contribution to health and have a workforce ready to accommodate new ways of working.
The workforce planning and training activities detailed in this plan illustrate initiatives to reshape the workforce to meet our current obligations and build and develop new workforces to accommodate changes in models of care and healthcare delivery. This workforce planning and training plan illustrates the collaborative work of the Regional Director of Training (RDoT)and General Managers of Human Resources (GMs-HR) building whole of health system solutions and also working alongside the clinical networks and action groups to meet some of their key deliverables that pertain to workforce and training.
The diagram below (Figure 2) illustrates the relationships between regional and individual DHBs with regards to workforce planning and training activities.
