A STAFF shake-up is under way at St Mary?s Hospital to ensure there are enough nurses on the wards.
The Isle of Wight NHS Trust is to implement measures ensuring there is at least one registered nurse per eight patients during the day and one per 11 patients at night. It will also ensure a safe number of registered nurses are on duty alongside unregistered ones.
The move follows the publication of several national reports criticising inadequate staffing levels at hospitals across the country, particularly at night and at weekends, and the effect on patients? safety.
