title: Integrated workforce planning. The acid test for the education commissioning consortia?
abstract: The education commissioning system established in the NHS in England in the mid-1990s is facing a series of reviews. A major challenge which it faces is how integrated workforce planning is addressed. Newly-emerging approaches to planning are reviewed and the nature of "integration" examined. Sensitive management of the change process will be needed to "learn our way into the future".
