Nurse and midwife patient ratios
Across our public health system, we understand that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to patient care and staff numbers.
That’s why we have developed and implemented the Safe Care Staffing Framework to address the unique care and staffing needs for each clinical area.
See our nurse and midwife patient ratios page for more information.
