NEW: Lower nurse staffing in A&E is associated with delays in patients receiving treatments and poor quality care - including an increase in leaving without being seen, delay in accessing treatments and medications, and cardiac arrest. ⁦@JdaDrennan⁩ https://t.co/0iDEAyt6wE

A final plea: if you are an RN/RMHN working in Mental Health - please tell us about your work life and views. We want to be able to tell employers & policy makers how things are, and what needs to change to make work lives better in this important sector.
Closes on 28 Jan. 🙏

The first paper from my PhD is now available! 🎉

#safestaffing
We have the evidence. We don’t need to keep proving that not having enough RNs is dangerous.
It’s time to act, to safeguard nursing for the benefit of all patients. https://t.co/zGr9v67Rbq

@PPI_poppet Merry Christmas and thank you for the beautiful growing card 💕

[Peter Griffiths @workforcesoton]

Birthrate Plus® is widely used to guide safe staffing in maternity services - a lot has been written about it, but in what sense is it an 'evidence-based' method? In terms of traditional hierarchies of evidence, the evidence is weak. https://t.co/dKhIKbDaHy

[Peter Griffiths @workforcesoton]

Our recent studies have shown that low allied health professional staffing is associated with higher mortality https://t.co/tDsj1fSOtb, but overall there is very little research https://t.co/clVxGSN37t
