We are the NHS: People Plan 2020/21 - action for us all

This plan sets out actions to support transformation across the whole NHS. It focuses on how we must all continue to look after each other and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, as well as action to grow our workforce, train our people, and work together differently to deliver patient care. ' The principles underpinning the action through 2020/21 must endure beyond that time ' The NHS is made up of people in many different roles, in different settings, employed in different ways, by a wide range of organisations. Many people providing NHS services work for NHS trusts. Introduction and summary But others are employed by community interest and other companies or partnersh ips – for example, in primary care across GP practices, dental surgeries, pharmacies and optometrists. The NHS also works closely with partners in social care and local government, as well as with the voluntary and independent sectors. We benefit from the contribution of those in unpaid roles too – particularly carers and volunteers. How different elements of the plan are implemented will vary across these different settings, but the principles it sets out apply across all organisations, and to all our people involved in providing or commissioning NHS care.
