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.

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. 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.

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.
