South Yorkshire Region Education and Careers

South Yorkshire's health and care workforce provide services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. To support our teams to continue providing excellent care we need to invest in them and our future workforce.

We support our partner organisations via a range of programmes, which support the national ambitions set out in the NHS People Plan.
