Mersey Community Hospital Medical Ward Step 3 Grievance

On 2 July 2020, the ANMF consulted with members on the Mersey Community Hospital Medical Ward in regard to their Step 3 Grievance. During this meeting we were able to discuss with members the issues and seek direction from them on actions moving forwards. During this meeting, ANMF officials presented the proposed benchmarking as supported by the Tasmanian Health Service. This  proposal would see a significant decrease to current staffing levels and as such the ANMF have raised concerns that it will not facilitate safe staffing. Members at the meeting unanimously supported not endorsing the benchmarking as it is not a true reflection of the current and previous workloads.

North West Cancer Services

The ANMF are pleased to report positive outcomes from grievances raised at the North West Regional Hospital (NWRH) North West Cancer Centre (Oncology) and the Mersey Community Hospital (MCH) Medical Day Procedure Unit (Day Oncology Unit).
