So this book aims to set the record straight by explaining community demand and supply side workforce planning and development. Eight chapters set out the main variables, from dependency and workload, activity and performance, staff education, recruitment and retention, before the most recent data are synthesised into a set of software-supported algorithms that managers can easily adopt.  \u003cp\u003eThe book and software enable readers to not only compare their organisations with those in the same socio-economic group but also against ‘best-practice’ staffing and performance. Both help managers determine if their stock of workers is equitable, efficient and effective. Finally, a large annotated bibliography helps users locate relevant publications, and readers should look out for workshops in 2006 designed take them through the book’s methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction, background and context.  \u003cp\u003eCommunity patient dependency and workload.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommunity staff activity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStaff mix.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEfficiency and effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEducation and training.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecruitment and retention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDetermining team size and mix.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnnotated bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Nursing%20\u0026amp;%20ancillary%20services%20%5BMQ%5D%22\"\u003eMQ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52449421132056,"sku":"9781861564870","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781861564870.jpg?v=1785198867","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/primary-care-trust-workforce-planning-and-development-paperback-softback-9781861564870","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
