Hi, I'm just wondering whether individuals could reply to the questions in this email. The size of the hospital I work in is approximately 350 beds.
1.) How many Biomedical Engineers/Technicians do you have in your hospital? 2.) What is your structure? For example Manager-Biomedical Engineer, 2 Biomedical Engineers positions and 3 Biomedical Engineering Technicians positions. 3.) How many beds is your hospital? 4.) How many pieces of equipment do you manage? What database do you use (example BEIMS) and is it fit for purpose? 5.) Do you do everything in-house or do you out source certain equipment, for example anaesthetic machines. What equipment is outsourced? 6.) What percentage of your work would be outsourced. 7.) Do you perform AS 3551 and AS 3003 testing in-house or is this outsourced? If it is outsourced who do you use? 8.) If AS 3551 and AS 3003 testing is performed in-house do you find it difficult to keep on top of the work? Do you have a team that continually does this work or is it done on overtime? 9.) Do you feel for the size of your hospital that you under staffed? 10.) Do you have a back log of equipment waiting repair of are you resourced adequately to meet the demands from your clinical areas? 11.) Does your Biomedical Engineering team work split hours or shift work? What is your normal spread of hours? A response to the above question would be greatly appreciated.
