As the NHS deepens its efforts to reduce agency reliance and enhance productivity, healthcare leaders are increasingly focussed on how to best utilise Bank staffing as a strategic asset. Our Insight Paper “The New NHS Flexible Workforce” reframes the narrative, advocating for the strategic integration of Bank staff as a core staffing component, essential for agility, continuity and sustainability. It explores how NHSP’s National Bank offers a scalable, system-wide solution to support migrating from agency to Bank - without compromising patient care or workforce capacity.
