Abstract: The concept of skill mix is widely recognised in the vocabulary of the National Health Service (NHS) workforce but because of its complexity is understood, elusive to define and therefore difficult to measure. Many issues surround the concept of skill mix, some of which are concepts in their own right, but which also need to be recognised as an integral part of skill mix – such as delegation and teamwork. Despite the lack of definition and difficulty of measurement, these elements are central to the research project here. Thus this project is also about developing and testing methodological approaches to measurement of skill mix in addition to fulfilling the aims and objectives set out in Section 1.2.
