Regional SPFs
The arrangements of the national SPF are broadly replicated at a local level via the regional SPFs.
The role of the regional SPFs has become increasingly prominent and integral to the delivery of national policy through partnership.
The engagement teams
NHS Employers engagement teams support the regional SPFs. There are four teams supporting four areas of the country: the North (North East and North Cumbria, North West, and Yorkshire and Humber); the South (South West, and South East); the Midlands & East (East Midlands, West Midlands, and East of England) and London.
