The forthcoming 10-year workforce plan for the NHS must treat universities as strategic partners.

A must-read blog from UA Director of Policy Susanna Kalitowski in @wonkhe.bsky.social today

A picture of University Alliance Director of Policy Susanna Kalitowski and a quote from her reading: “The next workforce plan is a chance to build a sustainable system. That means joining-up health and education policy, embracing regulatory flexibility, and investing in the infrastructure that enables transformation. Above all, it means treating universities as strategic partners.”
