This course is open to Queensland Health members only.

The BPF is a valuable tool for managing nursing and midwifery workload. It is created by the NUM or MUM in consultation with staff. This course will assist nurses and midwives with processes to manage nursing and midwifery workload supply and demand, as well as yearly planning, evaluation and negotiation required to provide safe, high quality frontline services. 

 

The course works through the detail of developing a service profile, the seven steps to calculating nursing/midwifery hours per patient day and resource allocation. We will explore BPF notional ratios and legislated prescribed ratios as well as having the BPF signed off and operational within your unit.
