Hi All, I am in Australia and although our babies have separate MRN they are not counted in the patient staff ratios. With the workload increasing with extra monitoring of a lot of babies our hospital is trying to change this but I am trying to get information about other hospitals that do already include babies and how they went about getting this to happen. We currently have ratio 1 midwife to 5 women during the day (and that means at least 5 babies not counting twins) and one midwife to 6 overnight (plus 6 babies). In theory you could be looking after 10-12 if you include both Please message back if anyone can help
