Nursing Projections Project

This project is a national level initiative undertaking a series of forecasting and modelling exercises on the nursing workforce in New Zealand to provide a robust basis for workforce planning.

 

The project has developed in response to the widespread need to understand nursing workforce demand, supply and training requirements. The project was initiated by the Clinical Training Agency (CTA), who requested the services of the DHBNZ Health Workforce Information Programme (HWIP) and the Nursing and Midwifery Workforce Strategy Group, to develop workforce projections for the national nursing workforce, and to build a picture of the nursing workforce. The ‘projections’ will be the first part of the project and will underpin future ‘planning’, as accurate workforce information is fundamental to the effective management and planning of health and disability services. It is also essential to adequately plan for undergraduate, post-graduate and post-entry clinical training.
