OVERVIEW
Chaired by Janet Youd, Chair of the Emergency Care Association of the Royal College of Nursing, this conference focuses on improving Safe Staffing for Nursing in Accident and Emergency Departments. Sessions will support you to improve nurse staffing and skill mix and apply the tools that can help you assess and improve safe staffing in your accident and emergency department.
The Royal College of Nursing in June 2014 highlighted the need for this improvement stating that “Inadequate staffing in emergency departments across the UK risks undermining the quality of care received by patients.. Over the past year, the RCN has organised emergency care summits in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and found that frontline A&E nurses’ most frequently raised concerns were around staffing levels and poor access to specialist training…The RCN recommends that all A&E departments need to use evidence-based workforce planning tools to ensure safe staffing levels. Dr Peter Carter, Chief Executive & General Secretary of the RCN, said: “Emergency care is a highly pressurised and difficult environment for nursing staff to work in. Too often, A&E departments are being left in a sorry state without enough staff and without enough specialist skills. Our members in emergency nursing are frustrated that this can undermine their efforts to provide the highest possible standards of care for their patients.
