Scoping review of guidance on safe non-consultant medical staffing recommendations for UK acute hospitals

Medical staffing is complex due to the varying roles and competencies involved. While some guidance exists, there is a clear need for more comprehensive recommendations that go beyond specific specialities. Future research should focus on developing a medical safe staffing tool and addressing the barriers to comprehensive guidance, both of which would enhance patient care.

Abstract

Medical staffing is complex due to the varying roles and competencies involved. While some guidance exists, there is a clear need for more comprehensive recommendations that go beyond specific specialities. Future research should focus on developing a medical safe staffing tool and addressing the barriers to comprehensive guidance, both of which would enhance patient care.
