    Workforce requirement for NSW surgery - vascular specialist workforce by 2035

    Reasonable career opportunities

    ​Workforce modelling indicates the need to significantly grow the NSW specialist surgery – neurosurgery workforce by around 1 to 2 new fellows per annum entering the workforce to meet community need in 2035 across both high and low demand scenarios.

    To meet the 2035 specialist workforce requirements through training, there is an ongoing need to increase the number of NSW advanced trainees under the low scenario by 1, to 14 total advanced trainees commencing per year and high scenario by 2, to 15 total advanced trainees commencing per year.

    ​Demand is expected to grow 2.6% (low demand scenario) to 2.9% (high demand scenario).

    In 2035 the average fellow will be 50.2 to 50.5 years old (if new entries enter the workforce).

  • Workforce considerations

    • Workforce modelling is based on current models of care. Any change in the models may impact on requirements.
    • Any changes to current training programs will affect the workforce modelling outcome.
    • Workforce modelling is based on current workforce hours profile by age co-hours. Any changes to hours worked by future clinicians will affect the model.
    • There is an accepted error rate of plus or minus two per cent within workforce modelling.
    • The model does not address any mal-distribution either by location (rural or regional) or sector (public or private).
