NSW Nurses' Association: Campaigns: Organising For Safe Patient Care: 2010 Public Health System Pay and Conditions Campaign

Organising For Safe Patient Care: 2010 Public Health System Pay and Conditions Campaign

The improvements to staffing won in our pay and conditions campaign are excellent but there is still work to be done in order to make the benefits tangible.

Our next task is to successfully implement these improvements so these gains become reality and our workplaces are less stressed, nurses? jobs are more satisfying and patients reap the benefits with better care.

FAQs

I want to support the One2Four Bed Closure Action Plan but work in an exempted area. What can I do instead?
Members who work in an exempted area who want to support the One2Four Bed Closure Plan can do so by wearing T-shirts and badges on their ward. You can also continue to support the One2Four Action Plan by registering your support for safe patient care at www.One2Four.com.au. more » What should I/my branch do if there is no management shut-down of beds/services for Christmas-January?
Your acton plan will then commence on 4th January. If there is a management shut-down of beds/services for Christmas-January, then your action should not start until emergency beds and time-critical services are scheduled to re-open. This will ensure that your action can be successful whilst still ensuring enough beds to provide emergency care and time-critical services at all times. If there is a management shut-down with progressive bed re-opening dates, Branch Officials should call NSWNA to discuss the best date to start your action. more »
