Task requirements

The UK's National Health Service (NHS) turned 70 in 2018. The pressure in the service has been greater than they have ever been due to the advances in treatments, standards, and policies of the administration that have occurred with the growing and aging population with time.

In the coming years, the NHS is planning to take practical action in order to strain off various departments as the waiting time across the board is still low by historical standards, but on the rise, and there has been a slowly growing budget.

There has been no sign of easing and the challenges that are faced by HR department of NHS have been great.

Prepare a 2000-word portfolio for the Head of England's NHS HR department by reviewing the  NHS case study. The portfolio should be based on 3 strategic People Management areas that are addressed by the NHS currently.

• Area 1: Leadership and Management
• Area 2: Training and Development
• Area 3: Talent Management

Special consideration should be given to:

• The application to the current scenario of NHS and key theoretical areas among their 3 areas
• The function of HR in supporting Management and the roles and priorities of NHS Management
• The various external and internal impacts on the 3 highlighted areas
• Any relevant suggestions for the portfolio highlights?

Notes for Guidance

The portfolio should comprise 3 clear sections and should be written in report format. Conclude the following with appropriate and relevant recommendations, in order to summarise the best practice for NHS with improved areas that are more problematic.
