Investigating healthcare workforce recruitment and retention: a mixed-methods study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Although the sustainability of the health workforce has been identified as essential to achieving health and wider development objectives, challenges with securing and retaining the healthcare workforce persist. In the UK, there are notable shortages across a wide range of National Health Service (NHS) staff groups, with a high staff turnover indicating retention issues in the healthcare workforce. In addition, gaps exist in understanding the root cause of individual organisation's workforce deficiencies and how their practice environment factors interact to impact workforce recruitment and retention.

Methods and analysis

An exploratory mixed-methods approach will be conducted to investigate the impact of organisational practice environment factors on healthcare
