A&E Rotas

UNISON Yorkshire ambulance branch has formally informed the trust that changing A&E rotas in October is completely unrealistic.

The main reasons for UNISONs objections are

• Annual leave already booked
• Current rotas not been given the opportunity to work due to the vacancy factors, so is there a need to change the rotas at all?
• Uncertainty around  A&E establishment levels due to a demand increase from the introduction of the new 111 service
• Not receiving the final demand data until July so will make the whole process rushed and stifle consultation
• Learn from the mistakes of the past to ensure that any changes are implemented correctly and not hurried
• Skill mix issues

UNISON would like to assure members that no agreement has or will be reached without extensive consultation and support of its members

These are only a few of the many concerns being raised by UNISON and its members.
