All hospitals must publish numbers of nursing and midwifery staff working on wards. This information must also include the percentage of shifts meeting safe staffing guidelines.
This is part of the NHS response to the Francis report. The Francis report called for greater openness and transparency in the health service.
The information includes details of rostered nurse staffing levels and worked staffing levels. Public meetings of our Board of Directors report full details.
Posters in our wards show the planned and actual staffing available at the start of every shift.
Reports are available on request.
