Generic Responsibilities:

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

A good attitude and positive action towards ED&I creates an environment where all individuals are able to 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 has 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.

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 pertaining to 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.

Quality and Continuous Improvement (CI)

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.

Hospice care at St Johns is provided free of charge. The NHS contributes 25% of the Hospices annual running costs, the remaining being obtained via the generosity of the public.

What we do

St Johns Hospice provides Specialist Palliative Care services and support to those affected by life-shortening illnesses. These currently include:-

• In-patient care, currently 13 beds
• Provision of community specialist palliative care through a combined team of Clinical Nurse Specialists, our Hospice at Home Team and our night sitting and day respite services
• Specialist clinics with a Consultant in palliative medicine
• Lymphoedema clinics and service

To provide these services, the Hospice employs around 220 staff and is well supported by our dedicated volunteers.
