Led by Lord Nigel Crisp, (Member of House of Lords (UK) and champion of the Global Health Workforce Alliance), the All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPG) on Global Health and Africa launched a new report "All the Talents". The report looks at how innovations in the skill mix of health workers can improve the quality and availability of health services and reduce costs. The primary recommendation is that professionals, governments and institutions alike must give much higher priority to creating the right workforce and developing and supporting the talents of health workers and others so that they can achieve their potential and play their full part in healthcare.
