Free workshops for NHS trusts: implementing the new agency rules

10 May 2016 05:26 PM

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is hosting workshops to help NHS trusts implement the new agency rules on temporary health staff.

Following the announcement by NHS Improvement (formerly Monitor and Trust Development Authority) that all 5 CCS frameworks are on their list of approved frameworks for agency staff, we are pleased to announce a series of free workshops to help NHS trusts use the CCS frameworks to meet their obligations under the new rules.

The workshops are taking place in 4 locations across the country:

  • Bristol, Tuesday 17 May, 10am to 12.30pm
  • Manchester, Tuesday 17 May, 10am to 12.30pm
  • Birmingham, Wednesday 18 May, 10am to 12.30pm
  • London, Thursday 19 May, 10am to 12.30pm (FULL) and 1.30pm to 4pm (FULL)
  • London, Wednesday 1 June, 10am to 12.30pm

Each event features a programme of interactive sessions focusing on:

  • data analysis and key trends
  • how to manage the agency rules ‘on framework’
  • how to call-off from the CCS frameworks
