ShiftWorks is an exciting new, low-cost online learning and development offer by The King’s Fund.

Much more than courses and concepts, the ShiftWorks mission is to bring the full diversity of the health and care workforce together, regardless of experience, role, or status. We believe that by understanding each other better and learning from one another, we can create a new generation of leadership and brighter tomorrow.

We don't just want to talk about the future of health and care, we want to make it, together.
