| Brand new renal section |
 A brand new section focusing on long term renal conditions is being added to the healthcare workforce online portal.
The new area is part of an all encompassing long term conditions section, which also features the pages focusing on neurology, launched earlier this year.
The Department of Health (DH) have commissioned us to develop a programme of work for renal services in 2008/09. Building on previous work in long term conditions and making the connections with the latest policy developments, this work programme will deliver a set of integrated resources to support the delivery of the renal workforce objectives.

| Workforce Skills Analysis Tool set to launch |
NWP has scoped and developed a Workforce Skills Analysis Tool that will be available during the week commencing 4th August.
The tool responds to the need from all organisations and individuals providing healthcare for a framework with a set of tools to help them assess their capabilities and capacity in workforce planning. The tool will allow them to have an overview of their current planning skills and allow any gaps to be filled, inform the commissioning of training and sharing of best practice across the organisation and wider healthcare economy, plus allow them to plan their future workforce planning staffing needs.
The tool is underpinned by the UK Wide Workforce Planning Competence Framework and also incorporates an organisational state of readiness assessment framework.
