Did you know that colleagues across Humber and North Yorkshire are collaborating on important workforce issues through the Breakthrough Humber and North Yorkshire transformation programme?

Through Breakthrough, the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board are working together to improve attraction, recruitment, training and retention of the people they need in their health and care workforce, now and in the future.

Some ways you can get involved right now include:

• Building system leadership skills is key to transforming Humber and North Yorkshire.  Take advantage of free, system-focused talent programmes, which are open for applications now. Find out more here.
• Deep in NHS operational planning?  You may benefit from the People Story dashboard. It provides current baseline workforce numbers, system-wide population demographics and needs intelligence and can be explored by sector or by place. Currently, the dashboard is available only to colleagues with an NHS email address, but a fully accessible version is coming soon. In 2025/26 they’ll be developing it further to project their future multi-year workforce plan. View it here.
• Apprenticeships Week: 3-9 February was National Apprenticeships week. What more can you do to champion apprentices in your area and spread the word about apprenticeships locally? Visit the Humber and North Yorkshire Careers Hub for more.
