Reminder: Launch of Workshop in a Box to help shape the 10 Year Health Plan


Last month, the government announced the launch of 10 Year Health Plan engagement exercise – an online platform Change.NHS.uk – where the public, clinicians and experts are urged to submit ideas on the future of the NHS. 


In the biggest national conversation about the future of the NHS since its birth, the entire country has been called upon to share their experiences of the health service. 


The public engagement exercise will support the development of the government’s 10 Year Health Plan and is due to be published in spring 2025. The plan will be underlined by three big shifts in healthcare – hospital to community, analogue to digital, and sickness to prevention. 


The aim is to co-develop the plan with the public, patients, and staff, so that everyone owns the plan and feels the difference in their daily lives. 


Eleven working groups have been established to support the development of the 10 Year Health Plan. 


On Monday (18 November), the government launched ‘Workshop in a Box’ on the Change NHS portal to help facilitate conversations with local communities and shape the 10-year health plan. 


This resource includes a facilitator guide, workshop slide deck, and a feedback form. Online sessions to support facilitators will run until mid-January 2025. The resource will be available until Friday 14 February 2025.

Published July 2025 (data correct as at 2024/25) Skills for Care have launched their annual report on the size and structure of ythe care workforce This provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the size and structure of the adult social care sector and workforce in England. A short, written report is available: download a copy of the report here. The methodology for this year’s report has changed from previous years. Adult social care related roles employed by the NHS are no longer included in the headline statistics for the size of the adult social care workforce. This change has been applied retrospectively to previous years, so the trends in this report are consistent. Comparing figures from this report to previous reports will not produce a valid trend. Also, our estimates for the number of filled posts in the independent sector now come from our automated data pipeline. This has resulted in substantial improvements to our estimates over time and some figures have changed as a result from previous versions of this report. For further information, see our statement.  To download the data behind the visualisation below, including trended information, please see the Workforce estimates page.

During the webinar, colleagues at DHSC explained what a FPA is, why it is being introduced and what this means for the sector. Details about the Employment Rights Bill and how this provides the legislative framework for FPAs were also shared. The webinar explored how the Government has been engaging with the sector so far, and ways in which those working in adult social care can get involved, including plans for a public consultation later this year. The event concluded with a Q and A A recording of the webinar is now available for you to view.
