Safer Staffing Reports

Guidance issued by NHS England and the Care Quality Commission states that every hospital ward must now publicly display details of planned and actual staffing levels, which forms part of the government’s response to the Francis report. Trusts have also pledged to submit monthly staffing reports to board meetings and these reports will be made available to the public online.

We embrace this open and honest approach and are working hard to ensure that there are robust systems and processes in place to ensure that there is sufficient staffing capacity and capability to provide high quality care to patients on all wards and departments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
