Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2016-2018
Safe Nurse Staffing
"Modern, patient-focused nursing and midwifery based on traditional values."
Patient focused nursing and midwifery staffing is one or our patient-focused action areas in the strategy.
We are committed to being open and honest about all aspects of care including nurse and midwifery staffing.
The six-monthly report on nurse staffing was presented to the Board of Directors on 25th January 2017.
From June 2014 we were required to publish our monthly data. The nursing and midwifery staffing data from May 2014 can be accessed through NHS Choices from 24th June.
A monthly break down of figures for the last 6 months can be accessed in the documents section at the bottom of the page.
Staffing Boards
Each ward at displays a staffing board in an area which can clearly be seen by patients, visitors and staff and shows who is in charge of the ward and the number of staff on duty.
These boards are updated daily to provide real line staffing data and display any action taken to ensure safe staffing levels.
