Safer staffing: nursing and midwifery

Safer staffing: nursing and midwifery

We use evidence-based decision-making on safe and effective staffing, which is a requirement for all NHS organisations.

This helps us to make decisions, and ensure safe, sustainable and productive workforce planning and compliance with annual governance reporting on safe staffing.

We use the Safer Nursing Care Tool as the evidenced based tool, combined with professional judgement and outcomes to ensure the right staff with the right skills are in the right place at the right time. It is based on patients’ needs, acuity, dependency and risks. We publish this data twice a year at public board meetings.

Care hours per patient day (CHPPD) data is collected each month by calculating the hours worked during day shifts and night shifts by registered nurses and midwives and by healthcare assistants added together. Each day, the number of patients occupying beds at midnight is recorded. These figures are added up for the whole month and divided by the number of days in the month to calculate a daily average. Monthly data, triangulated with patient outcomes is presented to the Quality Committee, with a Chairs log published at the Board of Directors.

Care hours per patient day (CHPPD) for the past two years are available below.
