| New child health developments |
The care of children at all stages of their development is a key element of health policy. Recent initiatives such as the Child Health Strategy: Healthy lives, brighter futures, the Next Stage Review and the recent Maternity Matters policy document have highlighted the need for integrated care that crosses organisational boundaries.
WPT is working with a range of key stakeholders to develop a range of workforce planning solutions to help organisations prepare for the workforce planning commitments outlined in the recent policy.

| Train the trainer grows |
Healthcare staff from across England have been building the skills needed to train the next generation of workforce planners as the innovative Train the Trainer programme continues to go from strength to strength.
Since launching in January, the Train the Trainer programme, developed by WPT, has been given the thumbs up, with workshop delegates describing the resource as 'brilliant' and 'excellent'.
The pack gives workforce planners or trainers in healthcare organisations the tools to deliver workforce planning training locally.
The next workshops are set to take place at Bewley's Hotel, Manchester on June 22nd and 23rd.
