Guest Speaker - Neil Offley

City Hall, Cardiff

As we reshape health services to seek improvements to access, delivery

and quality of healthcare, we also need to ensure that scarce human

resources are used to their maximum potential. For example

1. Agenda for change seeks to improve the use of staff to achieve efficiency

    through better skills utilisation.

2. The migration of services from hospital to community will affect roles and

    responsibilities.

3. ICT is opening up new possibilities for methods of work

4. Health professionals are gaining greater clinical responsibility

5. Increasing standards of care are leading to more focus on the provision

     care in the 'right place, at the right time, by the right person.

Board members will benefit from a fuller explanation of these issues in this

session.
