Summary

Healthcare organisations face growing challenges in attracting, developing and retaining the workforce needed to meet increasing demand, rapid technological advancement and evolving workforce expectations. The new Centre for Eye Care at St Pancras presents a unique opportunity to use a major capital investment as a catalyst for workforce transformation rather than simply a change in infrastructure.

This presentation explores how Moorfields Eye Hospital is using the move to create a world-leading environment for workforce development, education, research and innovation. By bringing together clinical services, education, research and industry partners within a single integrated campus, the centre will support multidisciplinary collaboration, new career pathways and enhanced opportunities for learning across all staff groups.

The session will highlight approaches to simulation-based learning, digital education, interprofessional development and closer integration between clinical practice, research and innovation. It will also examine how workplace design can improve staff wellbeing, foster collaboration, attract talent and support flexible ways of working.

With insight into the workforce planning, organisational development and cultural considerations associated with a significant transformation programme. The presentation will share practical lessons on using healthcare developments to strengthen workforce sustainability, expand educational capacity and create environments where staff, learners and patients can thrive together.
