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

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…

The first paper from my PhD is now available! 🎉
What factors do nurses consider as important when choosing their shift patterns? Take a look at our analysis of nurses' preferences for working time: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

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…

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…
