A major workforce census across clinical leaders, college tutors, and practising anaesthetists gave the Royal College of Anaesthetists robust evidence for workforce planning, policy, and advocacy.
A multi-audience census designed to provide a comprehensive and actionable view of the anaesthetic workforce.
RCoA conducts a comprehensive workforce census every five years to assess anaesthesia services, workforce composition, and planning challenges. Enventure Research was commissioned to deliver the latest programme and provide updated evidence on workforce trends.
We worked with RCoA to develop three surveys for clinical leaders, college tutors, and the wider anaesthetic workforce. Each was structured around relevant thematic areas, securely hosted online and administered by email with regular reminders to maximise participation.
The college tutors’ survey received responses from 100% of relevant hospitals, while the clinical leaders’ survey achieved a 97% response rate by NHS Trust or Board. The wider workforce survey achieved a 15% response rate, giving a robust base for detailed analysis and reporting.
“Enventure Research did an excellent job on our workforce census project. They were friendly, professional, responsive, and very willing to take on board feedback to ensure the project delivered what we needed it to deliver.”
