What we do: Safe Staffing reporting (1) Following the Francis report in 2013 and Hard Truths in 2014 Acute Hospital NHS Trusts have been required to publish ward level information of average planned vs actual staffing levels on a monthly basis #safestaffing #patientsafety

What we do: Safe Staffing reporting (2) to identify if they are meeting their requirements and measure safety. April 2018 Care Hours per Patient Day (CHPPD) was added as a method of providing a single consistent way of recording/reporting staff deployment on inpatient ward/units

What we do: Safe Staffing reporting (3) Leeds Teaching Hospitals publishes its safe staffing data within the board paper, on its internet site and nationally through NHS Digital. leedsth.nhs.uk/about/trust/qu… Scroll down for our monthly inpatient ward CHPPD #safestaffing #patientsafety

Hello, my name is... celebrates it's 11th anniversary tomorrow. As part of our 3C's week, Chris Pointon, widow of Dr Kate Granger, will be speaking with colleagues about HMNI & how this is fundamental to the provision of compassionate care #compassion #communication #HMNI

1 of 3 Three members of the Chief Nurse Workforce Team are now accredited NHS 'job matchers' after attending 2 days of intensive training, provided by NHS Employers. The learning gained will support our work involving Job Descriptions.

2 of 3 What is job matching? This is the process by which jobs are matched against nationally evaluated job profiles. Most jobs can be matched to national job profiles & shouldn't require development of new profiles unless there is an industry-wide shift in professional roles.

3 of 3 Job matching is carried out by a panel comprising both management and staff representative members, who are committed to partnership working and must have successfully completed training in both the NHS Job Evaluation Scheme and the avoidance of bias. #NHS #Collaboration

1 of 2 Back in June we posted that in addition to National Guidance we hold establishment review meetings twice a year. We are about to embark upon phase 2 reviews. This is where, with the clinical teams, we collaboratively review the actions agreed in phase 1. #NHS #nursing

Congratulations to all our nurses who have completed their first year of nursing at Leeds Children’s Hospital. Nurses are celebrating their first nurse-versary this morning with a special event hosted by senior nurses from across the hospital. Happy Nurse-versary! 🥳

2 of 2 We look at progress made & impact upon patient care. This can lead to further actions for the clinical team, our team, and/or wider Trust teams to ensure Nursing & Midwifery staffing meets not only the needs of patients but also the requirements of the Trust. #NHS #nursing

Well done to our teams across SIM on their achievement.
