Staff at Rotunda neonatal unit ‘would feel safe as a patient there’

Eight out of 10 staff working in the neonatal unit of the Rotunda Hospital would feel safe being treated there as a patient and believe that medical errors are handled appropriately in the neonatal ICU.

But while nine in 10 like their job, six in 10 felt it was difficult to speak up if they perceived a problem with patient care and just a fifth felt the levels of staffing in the ICU are sufficient to handle the number of patients.
