Public Sector Updates – North
Launceston General Hospital
Operating Room Suite
On Tuesday 18 May, the ANMF will attend the Operating Room Suite (ORS) benchmarking meeting. ANMF is currently assessing the results from the second workload survey commissioned to assess for improvements in workloads following the December 2020 survey. There is still a live Step 1 Grievance pending and the ANMF is also assessing workload forms already received, to provide information for these discussions. The information provided in both surveys will inform discussion at the benchmarking process for the 2021 staffing profile. Further updates to follow.
Emergency Department
The ANMF have secured a win for Launceston General Hospital (LGH) Emergency Department (ED) members with 21.3 FTE to be allocated to fix workload concerns related to safety and bed block. The increased FTE will be over and above the 2020 benchmarking number that secured safe staffing for the triage area. View the update sent to members here.
Updates correct as at 13 May 2021.
Authorised by Emily Shepherd, ANMF Tasmanian Branch Secretary
