The ANMF raised workload concerns of members in the Operating Theatres, including difficulties in taking meal breaks, with Tasmanian Health Service Management (THS). Initial benchmarking indicates an increase of 7 FTE is required to meet ACORN standards. Consultation meetings have been held to discuss the next steps including the development of a proposed roster and staff survey. Watch out for the survey in your inbox.
