Patient Outcomes – Managed Staff Solutions
Meeting the staff and skill shortage in the NHS
Workforce has been identified as a greater challenge to the NHS than funding1 and staff numbers are failing to keep pace with increasing demand in many areas. If existing workforce shortages and deficits continue, they will severely hinder progress and the delivery of the NHS Long Term plan. To overcome the workforce challenge and move towards better workforce planning, there needs to be a focus on developing the capability and productivity of our existing workforce.
How can we help?
At Alamac we work with NHS leaders to understand what they want to achieve and explore their skill gaps. We develop a bespoke ‘managed solution’ focusing on an outcomes-based approach with a clear risk share by providing skilled, experienced people who can work with clinical and operational teams to support sustainable change. The result is a ‘real’ partnership which ensures we both have something to gain. We deliver high quality outcomes and our NHS partners can evidence value for money.
Alamac supports its partners by providing a bespoke team of highly skilled and successful professionally trained leaders, who have a diversified skill set and a proven track record. The team can support at all level within an organisation and effectively engage clinical and non-clinical staff teams in change programmes.
Working with you to make genuine improvements
Alamac works with NHS leaders to avoid the risks of managing multiple interim staff where delivery of outcomes can be challenging. Our risk share approach provides a broad multilevel solution for NHS leaders.
Underpinning our approach to sustainable improvement is:

What are the benefits?
