Dear All

We are trying to scope staff health provision (immunisation, exposure management, education, injury management) requirements across our Area Health service. We have equitable and inadequate provision across our wide area- the ratio varies between 1 FTE Staff health time to 900 employees up to 1 per 4,000 and undoubtedly this causes many problems

Has anyone studied published national or international benchmarks for what number of FTE per staff body (rather than FTE) one needs to cover the bases?
Has anyone done a local survey of staff health provision in ANZ ?
Has anyone made a (un)succesful case for greater provision of resources?
Would you be happy to share your proposals with us?
If you are interested in designing an internet survey on this, please contact Janet Wallace, our Area Staff Health Coordinator via me.

thanks!
John
