Workforce Research Group

We are a cross-School group researching human resource and related service organisation issues within nursing and healthcare generally. A key focus is on drivers for workforce and professional change and the impact of such developments on clinical service provision in different organisational settings. We also examine the challenges and implications of workforce-related issues for staff themselves, patients and carers, education and training providers, professional regulators and NHS organisations. Our research takes a London, wider UK and international, particularly European, focus – and explores workforce issues from a variety of disciplinary viewpoints. It also includes the work of the Department of Health-funded National Nursing Research Unit.
