Hi Fidelma I feel you pain...I coordinate 4 sites in total 500 residents and 13 rao staff. What works for me is visiting each site 1x per week and one day back a head office doing the management side of things (developing policies, procedures, reaserch etc) I need to be very stricked with my time and I have to delegate to rao staff what they have to do at site level. Cooordinators should be there as support person, educator, guide a resources not a doer. Be carefull not to get stuck doing too much and everyones work.
Best of luck
Elsa
