The National Health Service (NHS) in England will gain more than 300,000 employees under a new plan outlined by the government on Friday to address a persistent lack of doctors and nurses.

The NHS, which celebrates its 75th birthday on Wednesday, is expected to face a manpower shortfall of 360,000 by 2037 as a result of an aging population, a dearth of domestically trained health workers, and maintaining existing personnel.

The government’s long-term labor strategy would involve shortening doctors’ time in medical school and training more in-house personnel.

PM Rishi Sunak stated, “On the 75th anniversary of our health service, this government is making the largest single expansion in NHS education and training in its history”.

He further said, “In the coming years, we will train twice the number of doctors and an extra 24,000 more nurses a year, helping to cut waiting lists and improve patient care”.

“We will do more to retain our brilliant NHS staff and reform the way the health system works to ensure it is fit for the future”, PM Sunak added.

NHS England now has 112,000 openings due to the significant number of employees leaving the institution.

Over the last year, the NHS has seen record strikes with staff complaining of being underpaid and overworked as they try to clear the backlog generated by coronavirus lockdowns.

According to the government, the plan could result in an additional 60,000 doctors, 170,000 nurses, and 71,000 more health professionals in the NHS by 2037.

NHS England chief executive, Amanda Pritchard said, “The publication of our first-ever NHS long-term workforce plan now gives us a once-in-a-generation opportunity to put staffing on a sustainable footing for the years to come”.

“As we look to adapt to new and rising demand for health services globally, this long-term blueprint is the first step in a major and much-needed expansion of our workforce to ensure we have the staff we need to deliver for patients”, Mr. Pritchard added.
