Public Sector Updates – South
Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH)
Post Anaesthetic Recovery Unit (PARU)
The ANMF sent a second letter (28 October 2022) regarding unresolved concerns within the Close Observation After Surgery (COAS) program to Tasmanian Health Service (THS) management, and a response (dated 7 November 2022) has subsequently been received. Both pieces of correspondence will be presented to members for consideration via Newsflash. Pending feedback to the contrary from members, the ANMF consider this matter to be finalised.
Patient Escorts for Non-Emergency Patient Transport (NEPT)
On 4 November 2022, the ANMF received a response from Tasmanian Health Service (THS) management regarding concerns identified in association with THS’ NEPT program and the requirement for nurses to provide clinical support in applicable cases. By and large, this letter failed to address the issues raised by the ANMF, instead the employer has pledged to consult more broadly before providing an update by Friday 25 November 2022. All correspondence to date on this matter will be forwarded to all members via Newsflash as soon as practicable.
Royal Hobart Hospital – Cardiac Cath Lab (CCL)
The ANMF understand that on 26 October 2022 Tasmanian Health Service (THS) local management have presented to CCL staff the proposed staffing model and business case. As such, the ANMF will seek the earliest opportunity to run a member meeting to take any/all feedback and seek ratification of the same. Members will be advised via regular channels once a date, time, and venue have been confirmed.
Updates correct as at 9 November 2022.
