Hi Gerald,
I think this would be valuable information for all of us within Infection Prevention, and would appreciate more responses from our colleagues across Australia.
At Western Health Victoria:
Western Hospital 360 beds, 2.9 FTE
Sunshine Hospital 426 beds, 1.0 FTE
Williamstown Hospital 90 beds, 0.6 FTE
Sunbury Day Hospital 27 beds, 0.2 FTE
Reg Geary nursing home 30 high care beds
Hazeldean Transition Care 30 beds.
Total of 5.7 FTE for 963 beds including 1 FTE Hand Hygiene Nurse, we do the influenza vaccinations annually and all NSI management.
Thanks for raising this matter.
Regards

Subject: IC staffing ratios
Dear all,
I’m keen to know what are the current Infection Control staffing ratios utilised by hospitals with 300-400 beds (happy for those with more beds to respond to this as well).
If you could specify your:
– number of beds:
– FTE:
(Does this include an immunisation nurse? Y/N)
(If yes, please specify that FTE: )
I’ve seen various reports specifying ideal IC staff to bed ratios but would be keen to know what’s actually happening at ground level.
Thank you.
Regards,
Gerald
