Supply and Demand Forecast
CfWI supply forecast and view of demand
The Centre for Workforce Intelligence
(CfWI) supply forecast for CCT holders (or equivalent) is
generated by considering factors affecting supply, including the
number of doctors in training, future healthcare requirements,
international recruitment and young leavers. This supply forecast
represents all doctors eligible for entry to the specialist
register. This does not mean that all these doctors will be
employed in the NHS in England.
The full basis of each forecast is available
on the Centre for Workforce
Intelligence.
The supply forecast can then be compared with
the CfWI view of workforce demand, which is the required
workforce that the NHS can afford. Workforce demand is often
confused with workforce need, which is the required workforce
without any financial constraints to deliver the service.
This information is only available for
England.
