Northern Coronary Care Unit (NCCU)
The ANMF met with members working in the Northern Coronary Care Unit (NCCU) on Wednesday 25 September 2019 to discuss the recent NCCU benchmarking. The benchmarking reflected a minimal decrease in FTE however the Tasmanian Health Service (THS) proposed to maintain the current FTE of 19.25. Members agreed to endorse the proposed NCCU benchmarking. As discussed with members the ANMF will inform the THS that members endorsed the benchmarking, which will then be signed off by the THS.
