Nursing Hours per Patient Day (NHpPD) Grievance Step 2

Potential solutions to the NHpPD Workload Grievance at NWCC were discussed at the Step 2 Specialist Panel meeting. The 2021/2022 benchmarking data will have an impact on staffing. The ANMF now has the data and will seek members direction at a meeting on Thursday 27 October 2022.

A Note from North West Engagement Officer Nicki Hood

Nicki has been visiting members from Coroneagh Park who raised concerns about unsafe staffing levels in the Dementia Support unit, and now, have the commitment from management for extra staff over weekends and on the late shift, well done members! This is an example of how members can make a difference in their workplace and how, by having a strong voice, members can advocate for safe staffing. Do not be afraid to talk to your union about issues in your workplace!

Nicki also met members at the Mersey Community Hospital for Emergency Nurses Day, thank you for being our lifesavers!

Updates correct as at 27 October 2022.
