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 (SHEF)

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

(workplace) 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 (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. 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.
