Operating Theatre Change Proposal
The ANMF has provided the following feedback to the change proposal. ANMF members’ main concern remains the flow management of the Day Surgery Unit (DSU) part of the theatre. The compromise that the Associate Nurse Unit Manager (ANUM) in the DSU will be indirect, and the additional ANUM hours of 0.41 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) will be used to support the DSU. A review of the leadership structure will be undertaken post the new build and at that time the “grade” for the indirect ANUM should form part of that review. On that basis, ANMF members support the change proposal be progressed.
Updates correct as at 7 December 2022.
