Retention is a vital part of sustaining and growing our NHS workforce to meet the increasing and changing demands on services.
This Hub provides a range of evidence-based resources to support and help organisations create compassionate work environments and achieve real tangible improvements in staff retention that positively impact patient care.
Why does retention matter?
Staff play a critical role in providing good quality patient care. However, some professions face numerous challenges, including high turnover rates and burnout. This can lead to decreased patient satisfaction, increased costs, and compromised patient safety. Retaining and valuing experienced staff not only benefits the healthcare workforce, but also the patients they serve.
