Launceston General Hospital (LGH) Update
Angiography Suite
The ANMF attended the Tasmanian Industrial Commission (TIC) on 4 December 2019. This conference was to discuss the ongoing concerns of members regarding the current excessive on call requirement with the limited number of nurses on the base roster. The ANMF are pleased to report that through the efforts of members the business case has been approved for an additional 4.17FTE of permanent nursing staff. We wish thank members working in the LGH Angiography Suite for their ongoing commitment and advocacy. We look forward to supporting them as we continue to campaign for their previously raised Work Health and Safety concerns arising due to the limited physical space allocated to their service. The ANMF will be attending a member meeting on 19 December 2019. Click here to read the latest newsflash.
