More health visitors needed

Interesting to see that there is a drive to recruit thousands more from the existing pool of nurses, midwives and leavers. That will have a major effect on the rest of health visiting and nursing. Quality v Quantity and the existing workforce are major considerations as when extra Maths teachers were required recruitment and retention premiums appeared.Interesting times indeed as will the existing workforce remain or will it shrink as people take early retirement to maintain a good work life balance.
