Workforce principles for the future

• Ensure that the current workforce is used most
  effectively- match the skills of the practitioner
  to the needs of the person, which requires
  changing practice
• Extend practice beyond initial professional scope
  of practice for some
• Bring new people in to the workforce into new
  assistant and practitioner roles
• Move towards a workforce based on competence
  rather than profession
• New Ways of Working for Everyone Progress
  Report, launched April 25 2007

Our practical approach to workforce development

• Critical Steps (operationalised in toolkit)
• Assess local need and likely demand for
  interventions at steps 23 - use of Workforce
  Capacity Tool
• Specify scope of interventions based on IAPT
  Outline Service Specification
• Allocate time for Low and High Intensity
  interventions
• Agree assumptions about time each WTE will
  spend on direct patient contact
• Build in supervision and training as a MUST DO
  for clinical and case management
• Calculate the numbers required to meet projected
  demand
