Ateb
Atebwyd gan Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
I have acknowledged the British Society of Haematology report, which has been shared with Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) who are responsible for developing the annual education and training plan for healthcare professionals.
Workforce planning, recruitment, and retention remain the responsibility of individual health boards. HEIW works in close collaboration with health boards to ensure that education and training provision is aligned with current and future workforce needs.
Supporting a sustainable haematology workforce in Wales is a priority area based on current workforce data and retirement projections. Haematology is a small training programme and any increase in training posts needs to be phased to ensure sustainable quality and supported training capacity.
