Capacity Planning- draft simple template

[Rashmi]

It was lovely to meet so many colleagues at the NEQAS/BBTS meeting last week.

As mentioned, I have attached a simple draft template that could be used to format your capacity plans, you just need to make sure you have the evidence to support your staffing requirements. Your own plans can then be made as detailed as required. The main thing is to identify what staff you need (realistically!), to keep your BB running with all activities including QMS, so take a look at your weekly staff rotas and identify the gaps eg Senior supervisor, serology bench bms, mla etc

I would really appreciate some feedback and ideas to improve this form together on this forum so we can add to the UKTLC Standards (2014) which are being reviewed and we hope to update you with these changes at the July 2018 SHOT meeting.

There will also be a link via the SHOT website later this week with some other documents.

Many thanks!
