Using the Flexible Nursing Workforce in the NHS

IES carried out some work for NHS Professionals on the use of the flexible nursing workforce in the NHS. This included analysing data held by NHS Professionals on trends in the use of bank and agency nursing staff, and conducting case studies of NHS organisations that make use of flexible workers. The case studies explored the reasons for using flexible workers, and the possible benefits of doing so.
