We found evidence that lower than expected midwifery staffing levels is associated with more postpartum readmissions. Latest from @arc_wessex @HSciences @workforcesoton @JaneEBall @Kitson_Reynolds doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2023…

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 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

#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. youtu.be/snTnciZxLQU?si=M4vc…

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. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Our recent studies have shown that low allied health professional staffing is associated with higher mortality doi.org/10.5258/SOTON/D2055, but overall there is very little research doi.org/10.1186/s12960-023-0…
