The Workforce Innovation Group (WING) is a research group within the Research Centre of Health and Wellbeing. This group is led by Dr Adéle Stewart-Lord and Prof Alison Leary. Research in this group focusses on workforce evaluations, research and workforce modelling.
Effective healthcare workforce planning is vital to ensure appropriate levels and skills of staff are available to deliver safe, high-quality care to patients and service users.
Our research has developed a detailed understanding of work that enables the building of models around the impact of staffing levels on patient outcomes; workload activity in complex areas; and contribution that specialist roles make. Our research has influenced national policy in safety and care standards, with key impacts.
