Workforce Resilience and Implications for Health System Reform - Learning from Austerity and COVID-19
Through a joint collaboration between the Research & Development and Operations Planning, HSE and in association with Foundations’ and RESTORE research projects, Centre for Health Policy and Management, Trinity College Dublin, this virtual learning event will explore trends in Ireland’s publicly funded health service workforce, from the global financial crisis, through the Recovery period and into the COVID-19 pandemic, to understand resource allocation across community and acute settings. Specifically, it will examine whether skill-mix and staff capacity are aligned with policy intent and the broader reform agenda to achieve universal access to integrated healthcare, in part, by shifting free care into primary and community settings.
