Abstract

Discusses the application of workforce planning techniques in the context of “target” levels of demand and uses a study of the future supply of orthotists and prosthetists as an example. Describes the derivation of an appropriate model, the quantification of the labour market for the profession, and an analysis of the characteristics of the workforce. Information was gathered through two surveys and from discussions with relevant organizations.
