The KSF is an organisational tool for describing the knowledge and skills staff need to apply at work in order to deliver high quality services.
It is a key part of the NHS Agenda for Change pay system because it enables pay and pay progression to be linked to the application of a set of knowledge and skills. It includes an annual system of review and development for staff.
The KSF is a key tool in the development of a successful whole organisation approach.
