A challenge Professor Nora Colton, Director of the Global Business School for Health, is hoping that better management and leadership education can address is the labour shortage in healthcare. In December 2019, there were around 99,000 job vacancies for NHS England – as of December 2022, this had risen to 124,000. But this labour shortage isn’t unique to the UK. “Across global healthcare systems, there are labour and workforce issues. We need more clinical doctors and nurses, but also leaders and managers who can rethink healthcare and be courageous enough to take a step forward,” says Nora. The location of UCL GBSH in London presents a perfect case study using the NHS for health systems around the world.
