North West Hospitals

Benchmarking for all wards and units at the North West Regional Hospital (NWRH) and MCH have been delayed until early in the financial year to capture 2022/2023. The ANMF will schedule meetings with each ward and unit as the data becomes available to seek members endorsement. Keep an eye out for ANMF updates to have your say about staffing in your ward/unit.
