1. Factors that should be systematically assessed at ward level to determine the nursing staff establishment

2. On‐the‐day assessments of nursing staff requirements to ensure that the nursing needs of patients are met throughout a 24‐hour period

3. Track Red Flag events that trigger staffing changes, and inform establishment reviews

4. Monitor adequacy of ward nursing staff establishments ensure that there are procedures for systematic monitoring of safe nursing indicators

4 Main Recommendations

Page 9: Using Workforce Planning Tools to Support Safe Staffing/media/Employers... · 1. Factors that should be systematically assessed at ward level to determine the nursing staff establishment

The guideline also makes recommendations for monitoring and taking action according to whether nursing staff requirements are being met and, most importantly, to ensure patients are receiving the nursing care and contact time they need on the day

Taking Action

Page 10: Using Workforce Planning Tools to Support Safe Staffing/media/Employers... · 1. Factors that should be systematically assessed at ward level to determine the nursing staff establishment

What is safe?Are we safe now?How do I know?

Can we meet the reporting needs?

It’s just a guideline. Do Trusts have to implement it?
