We are in the same situation - the induction/training schedule at out
Trust does not give us any space until the staff get to the wards and
then it is impossible to catch them all in one go due partly to their
shifts and our lack of staff.
The problem seems to be getting the Trust to take this issue seriously
enough to make space for us right at the start. Then we have to find the
staff.....not easy when there are only two full time equivalent nurses
to 3500 staff plus income generation work!!
I would be very interested to hear what others are doing about the TB
issue, and also what sort of staff numbers other NHS Trust occ health
depts have.
