West Midlands SPF
Recent developments: The West Midlands SPF network has supported partnership working between the regional SPF and the STPs through linking up regional staff side reps with their STP leads.
Follow our activity on Twitter @NationalSPF and use the following hashtags #SPFnhs #NationalSPF.
The meetings will be co-chaired, alternatively (where practical), by nominated/elected staff side lead and nominated employer individual with understanding of strategic workforce implications of policy change from the West Midlands NHS service providers (for example director of HR).
· Representation from each staff organisation listed in the national partnership agreement.
· Staff side and employers will aim to identify vice-chairs
· Representation from Health Education West Midlands
· Representation from NHS Employers
