Abstract

A review of the health care workforce and skill-mix in urgent and emergency care in a small rural hospital in the Yorkshire Dales. Discusses the context of global nursing and medical workforce shortages. The report reflects on twitter feeds that document inclusive leadership and learning and development in a stressful working environment. We highlight prospects for volunteering and integrated health and social care in enhancing the employer value proposition of anchor institutions.
