When it comes to addressing staffing needs, particularly in recruiting and managing temporary staff, the NHS can learn valuable lessons from local authorities. Over the years local councils have honed their approach to workforce management, particularly in the use of temporary workers and the NHS would be wise to adopt some of these strategies.
The reality is that the NHS’s approach to temporary staffing is outdated and fragmented. Despite the increasing need for flexibility within the workforce, NHS trusts are still largely relying on traditional agency models or banks of workers that do not fully meet the needs of today’s healthcare professionals.
It’s no secret that more and more healthcare professionals are opting to work through agencies or on a temporary basis for the simple reason that it offers them flexibility.

There is no doubt that the NHS can learn a lot from local authorities when it comes to workforce management. By adopting a more centralised, data-driven and transparent approach NHS trusts can gain better control over their temporary staffing needs, reduce costs and ensure that their flexible workforce is truly fit for purpose. At Matrix, we’ve seen the success of this model across councils and we are confident that it can offer the same benefits to healthcare organisations.
