What’s Really Driving Workforce Pressure and How Providers Can Respond

A recording of the webinar can reviewed below.

Adult social care services in England are operating in an environment of sustained pressure, from workforce shortages and rising costs to evolving demand and operational complexity. This webinar brought together insights from recent research with the lived experience of care leaders to explore not only what is happening in the sector, but why it mattered and what needed to happen next to build resilience and sustainability.

A conversational session led by Ben Dixon (Sona’s CTO) and Richard Ayres (Care England’s Social Care Advisor). Together, they took us through the key findings from the latest evidence on workforce strain, deployment challenges, digital capability, and funding pressures. The discussion drew out the most important issues facing providers today and linked them to actionable, real-world solutions that organisations can begin to explore now.

What Was Learnt

• The current picture of workforce pressures every provider should understand
• How short staffing, rota design and invisible strain are impacting quality and sustainability
• The role of digital capability in improving operational visibility and future-proofing services
• Practical approaches to workforce planning, deployment and evidence-based negotiation with commissioner
