NHS Employers: Calculating new mileage rates – poster

 

 

New mileage rates from 1 July 2014

How is mileage allowance calculated? Following the latest changes to the mileage allowance rates we have produced a poster that clearly presents the breakdown in costs and charges and compares 2013 to 2014 mileage rates. The new rates will apply to journeys made by NHS employees on and after 1 July 2014. The changes are also outlined in pay circular AfC 2/2014, and the terms and conditions handbook will be updated and republished shortly. You can access the poster, new pay circular, as well as a summary and FAQs on the changes, from our latest news page.

How the NHS is structured- Infographic

The changes to the NHS that came into force on 1 April 2013 are complex. This infographic poster aims to explain, in a simplified way, to both patients and staff, how the new NHS is structured. Not every aspect is included because it would be overly complex, but we hope that you find it useful. Download the poster here. NHS Employers

Poster for Safe use of bed rails (1504Kb)

Bed rails successfully prevent many falls, but their incorrect use has resulted in the deaths of bed occupants by asphyxiation through entrapment in gaps.

Risk assessment is key to ensure safe use. It should start with the bed occupant and include the combination of the proposed equipment, the bed and the mattress.   This poster complements our more detailed guidance ‘Safe use of bed rails’ DB 2006(06) v2.0.
