Overview
By 2030, the world will be short of 18 million health workers - a fifth of the total capacity to care. Global healthcare leader and award-winning author, Mark Britnell draws on his work in 77 countries to offer solutions to this growing crisis and present unique insights into what works, and what does not. Reframing the global workforce challenge to one of health and national wealth, Human: Solving the global workforce crisis in healthcare invites us to refashion this wicked problem in new, adaptive ways in order to enhance productivity and prosperity. Harnessing technology, Britnell asks us to imagine new models of care and levels of workforce agility, whilst always remembering that the kind heart of a human is the essence of care. Short and concise, each chapter can be read in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee. It is possible to read this book in a day and gain a truly global perspective on the fundamental workforce issues facing health systems today. Book jacket.

"There is just so much to take away from [this book], it is well researched and written in an accessible format providing bite-sized chapters that can be easy to digest when needed ... This is a kind of Chicken Soup for the Soul book, inspirational and bringing stories of real lives to the pages associated with the global workforce. I can guarantee you will have a 'aha' moment and you be heard muttering to yourself 'that makes so much sense'." -- Ian Peate, Independent Nurse
