The National Quality Board (NQB) and the Chief Nursing Officer for England have published guidance on safe staffing to ensure that each hospital ward and every shift has the right number of staff on duty to provide patients with safe, good quality care. As part of this we, along with all other hospitals, will display information on each ward about the number of nurses, midwives and care staff we have present on that ward, our planned numbers for that shift and whether we have achieved this. We will also publish a monthly update here on our website.
We also feel it is important that we have the right skills and experience on each ward which takes into account the level of care needed by our patients for each individual area. We regularly carry out "skill mix" reviews and these are reported to the Trust Board twice a year. We will also publish these reports here.
We are committed to providing our patients with safe and effective care and we hope that you find this information helpful. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
