Reviews for Health Workforce Governance: Improved Access, Good Regulatory Practice, Safer Patients

'This book provides an illuminating account of the key issues facing healthcare workforce governance in the 21st century. It makes an important call for a more evidence based approach, and is itself a major contribution to the evidence base from many different perspectives and disciplines.' Anna van der Gaag, President, Health Professions Council 'Never before have I come across a volume of collected works which addresses health workforce governance issues from ethical international recruitment to the challenges of the regulatory trinity in such a comprehensive and engaging manner. It is a must read for health workforce policy and planning decision-makers and knowledge users.' Ivy Lynn Bourgeault, University of Ottawa, Canada
