2 1 Glossary of Abbreviations DHB FTE MECA NZRDA RMO SMO HO District Health Board Full Time Equivalent Multi Employer Collective Agreement New Zealand Resident Doctors Association Resident Medical Officer Senior Medical Officer House Officer 2 Purpose The purpose of this document is to initiate a formal consultation process with staff who may be affected by a proposal to make changes to RMO staffing and rostering within Waitemata DHB s Othopaedic service. It is essential to emphasise that this is a proposal only. No final decisions will be made until all feedback has been considered. 3 Background The Orthopaedic service employs 17 Senior Medical Officers (SMO) and 3 Fellows. In addition, 10 registrars and 1 reliever registrar (4 SET positions and 7 Non SET positions) are employed within the service. These are organised into 5 teams with 8 House Surgeons reporting into each team, as below: Team SMO s Fellow Senior Registrar Junior Registrar House Officer Blue Red Black Green Red In order to meet the increased demand for Orthopaedic services and to better apportion workload an additional 3.89 FTE SMO s have been appointed between 2013 and The number of registrars employed has stayed constant during this time. This is despite both elective and acute workloads having increased, whilst there has also been an increase in the acuity of patients and the time required in managing their complex care. Discharge Volumes Acute volumes have steadily risen by 18% since This increase is felt across the hospital system from the Emergency Department, operating theatres and ward occupancy. The registrars are responsible for the coordination of discharge planning from Emergency Department and from ward rounds. They also manage the urgent orthopaedic referrals during normal hours and after hours, including weekends. Electives 2
3 Elective volumes have increased by 57.9% since With ESC opening in 2014 the electives split between North Shore and ESC is roughly 50%. Registrars attend pre assessment clinics and support SMO s in outpatients clinics for patients having their surgery at both ESC, North Shore and Waitakaere hospital. Whilst the data shows that ESC have reduced the amount of electives treated at North Shore the overall work up to theatre for the ESC electives and the post-surgery follow ups for the ESC electives are undertaken by registrars. ** Please note: are extrapolated volumes based on ytd performance It is expected that acute service volumes will continue to grow by at least 2% per annum. In March 2015, a business case for an additional 1.0FTE of RMO headcount was submitted to provide additional reliever resource. Approval was received for this additional position. 4 Current and Proposed Model 4.1 Current Model Current rosters are available from the RMO Centre and the run description is attached. 4.2 Proposed Model To support the increased workload within the Orthopaedic Service this additional 1.0fte RMO resource is being proposed. Whilst it will require no change to the current roster pattern, the additional resource is proposed to reduce the number of Long Days during the week and at the weekend and the number of nights allocated per Registrar. The new arrangements are not expected to see any change to the Run Category which will remain an A. 3
4 Our consultation process is open and we will consider any suggestions regarding this matter, therefore your thoughts on how this proposed roster will work with an additional reliever available are welcome, and alongside any other suggestions to improve the roster, will be considered as part of the consultation process. Based on this information, the following changes are proposed: An increase in the numbers of Orthopaedic Registrars from 11 to 12. There will be no change in the roster, but RMO s work schedules will reflect a reallocation of commitments i.e, the number of clinics and of theatre sessions they are currently required to attend, etc are proposed to be reduced. The number of on call shifts for the Orthopaedic RMO s is also proposed to be reduced. WDHB is a training hospital and with an additional RMO providing relief there will be increased opportunity for all registrars to be able to attend operating sessions. To provide clarity, a draft run description has been included in this document as attached in the Appendices. This should not be interpreted as the proposal being predetermined. Any suggested changes to the proposed model will be fully considered and where determined to be beneficial, will be included. To the best of our understanding, RMO training opportunities are not affected by the proposed changes. 5 Purpose / Benefit of Proposed Changes The main drivers for the proposed changes include: A better, more sustainable and equitable workload between teams. Reducing workload, by spreading the load therefore improving safety of Orthopaedic RMOs. Better support for the increased number of Orthopaedic SMOs in the service. The realisation that, if that the above were to be achieved by the increase in RMO resources, this would provide better care for our patients. The benefits of implementing the proposed changes include: The addition of another relieving RMO to the service would significantly improve and promote a more equitable workload over the current teams. The proposal increases the number of whole weekends off for the Orthopaedic Registrars affording them better quality time for rest and recreation. Across both Registrars and House Officers there would be little net change in remuneration from run categories if the proposed changes were implemented. All other RMOs would remain on the same run pay category. An additional registrar will provide cover to allow training commitments to be met and provide cover for annual leave to ensure staff can take a reasonable amount of leave when they require it. 4

6 Proposed Structure 9 Consultation This consultation will be carried out over a period of two weeks, from 6 August 15 July 2015 and all stakeholders are invited to provide feedback electronically or if preferred via meetings, either group or individually, to discuss the proposal further. The service genuinely wants to hear from all stakeholders and no decisions have been made. The opinion of the affected staff is vital to making this work and both group and individual discussion will be sought. This document is to provide the basis for those discussions and all opinions will be taken into consideration before a final decision is made. Feedback may be provided on all or some aspects of the proposal. There is a feedback form appended to this document which you may wish to use. Feedback can be sent directly to Sue Brown, HR Manager, at sue.brown@waitematadhb.govt.nz. All feedback will be treated confidentially and will be collated and fed into the decision making process on an anonymised basis. 10 Support Services It is acknowledged that the changes proposed may be stressful for some people. The following resources are available: EAP Services Counselling is available through the WDHB funded Employee Assistance Program (EAPworks). This program is completely confidential.
