Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
A good attitude and positive action towards ED&I create an environment where all individuals
can achieve their full potential. Creating such an environment is important for three reasons: it
improves operational effectiveness, it is morally the right thing to do, and it is required by law.
Patients and their families have the right to be treated fairly and be routinely involved in
decisions about their treatment and care. They can expect to be treated with dignity and respect
and will not be discriminated against on any grounds including age, disability, gender
reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief,
sex or sexual orientation. Patients have a responsibility to treat other patients and our staff with
dignity and respect. Staff have the right to be treated fairly in recruitment and career
progression. Staff can expect to work in an environment where diversity is valued and equality
of opportunity is promoted. Staff will not be discriminated against on any grounds including age,
disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race,
religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Staff have a responsibility to ensure that you treat
our patients and their colleagues with dignity and respect.
Safety, Health, Environment and Fire
This practice is committed to supporting and promoting opportunities for staff to maintain their
health, well-being, and safety. You have a duty to take reasonable care of health and safety at
work for you, your team, and others, and to cooperate with employers to ensure compliance
with health and safety requirements. All personnel are to comply with the Health and Safety at
Work Act 1974, Environmental Protection Act 1990, Environment Act 1995, Fire Precautions
Regulations 1999, and other statutory legislation.
Confidentiality
This practice is committed to maintaining an outstanding confidential service. Patients entrust
and permit us to collect and retain sensitive information relating to their health and other
matters, about their care. They do so in confidence and have a right to expect all staff will
respect their privacy and maintain confidentiality at all times. It is essential that if the legal
requirements are to be met and the trust of our patients is to be retained all staff protect patient
information and provide a confidential service. All staff are required to sign and adhere to the
Confidentiality Policy.
Quality & Continuous Improvement
To preserve and improve the quality of our output, all personnel are required to think not only of
what they do but how they achieve it. By continually re-examining our processes, we will be able
to develop and improve the overall effectiveness of the way we work. The responsibility for this
rests with everyone working within the practice to look for opportunities to improve quality and
share good practice. This practice continually strives to improve work processes that deliver
health care with improved results across all areas of our service provision. We promote a
culture of continuous improvement, where everyone counts and staff are permitted to make
suggestions and contributions to improve our service delivery and enhance patient care.
Learning and Development
The effective use of training and development is fundamental in ensuring that all staff are
equipped with the appropriate skills, knowledge, attitude, and competencies to perform their
role. All staff will be required to partake in and complete mandatory training as directed by the
training coordinator. Staff will also be permitted (subject to approval) to undertake external
training courses which will enhance their knowledge and skills, progress their career, and
ultimately, enable them to improve processes and service delivery.
Collaborative Working
All staff are to recognise the significance of collaborative working. Teamwork is essential in
multidisciplinary environments. Effective communication is essential and all staff must ensure
they communicate in a manner that enables the sharing of information in an appropriate
manner.
Service Delivery
Staff at the surgery must adhere to the information contained with practice policies and regional
directives, ensuring protocols are adhered to at all times. Staff will be given detailed information
during the induction process regarding policy and procedure.
Security
The security of the practice is the responsibility of all personnel. Staff must ensure they remain
vigilant at all times and report any suspicious activity immediately to their line manager. Under
no circumstances are staff to share the codes for the door locks to anyone and are to ensure
that restricted areas remain effectively secured.
