IC staffing ratios

[Gerald Cha]

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

Hi Gerald,

We are a 350 bed private facility with two FTEs for IPC and 1 FTE for
staff health who carries out immunisations for the facility along with

Hope this helps
