Calvary Lenah Valley and St John’s Hospitals

Calvary has developed a Nursing Workload Response Flowchart to assist staff with situations arising on the shift relating to insufficient staffing, inappropriate skill mix/change in patient acuity, and inability to take meal breaks. This Flowchart should be available for staff to access on each ward/unit and Calvary will also be sending this information out to all staff shortly. The ANMF will also be communicating to members regarding this. If members have any issues or concerns please contact our Member Support Team via email at membersupport@anmftas.org.au
