A good attitude and positive action towards Equality Diversity

(ED&I) creates 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

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 must

protect patient information and provide a confidential service.

To preserve and improve the quality of this

organisations outputs, 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.

working within the organisation to look for opportunities to improve quality

and share good practice and to discuss, highlight and work with the team to

create opportunities to improve patient care.

Learning and development

is fundamental in ensuring that all staff are equipped with the appropriate

developments (e.g., courses and conferences). The post-holder will provide an

educational role to patients, carers, families and colleagues in an environment

that facilitates learning.

Collaborative working

collaborative working and understand their own role and scope and identify how

this may develop over time. Staff are to prioritise their own workload and

ensure effective time-management strategies are embedded within the culture of

the team.

environments, and the post-holder is to work as an effective and responsible

team member, supporting others and exploring the mechanisms to develop new ways

of working and to work effectively with others to clearly define values,

direction and policies impacting upon care delivery

Effective communication is essential, and all

staff must ensure they communicate in a manner which enables the sharing of

information in an appropriate manner. All staff should delegate clearly and

appropriately, adopting the principles of safe practice and assessment of

Managing information
