Abstract

Staff governance is a major challenge for the NHS. It refers to the framework for managing employees in the National Health Service (NHS). Professional practitioners, in particular doctors and nurses, have a key role to play in the running of the NHS, but there are many challenges in managing staff and especially ensuring high retention levels. This chapter begins by explaining the power relations within the NHS and among some of the key actors. It then highlights some of the key challenges including those posed by the loss of European Union (EU) staff following the UK's decision to leave the EU. In particular, it explains why it has become increasingly difficult in recent years to retain staff in the NHS. It then discusses some of the measures to stem the haemorrhaging of staff.
