Health & Safety

Smoking

It is the policy of Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals Group that all people who work for the Trust or, while on its premises, obtain treatment or visit the Trust in any capacity, do so without exposure to tobacco smoke, and so smoking of cigarettes and E-cigarettes is not allowed anywhere on any Trust premises.

The Trust aims to provide appropriate support, in partnership with local Occupational Health and Community Services, to ensure that Trust staff and patients can access practical help and support in their attempts to stop smoking.

This policy is based on clear evidence that, in addition to the health risks taken by smokers themselves, others who breathe in exhaled tobacco smoke (passive smokers) have increased risk of disease.

NHS Estates have notified all NHS agencies that E-Cigarettes and the charging there of are not permitted within any Trust property (including accommodation).

Diversity

You are at all times required to carry out your responsibilities with due regard to the Trust’s Diversity policy and to ensure that colleagues or staff that you manage receive equal treatment throughout their employment with the Trust.

Risk management

All staff have a responsibility to report all clinical and non-clinical accidents or incidents promptly and, when requested, to co-operate with any investigation undertaken.

Conflict of interests

You may not without the consent of the Trust engage in any outside employment. In accordance with the Trust’s Conflict of Interest policy, you must declare to your manager all private interests which could potentially result in personal gain as a consequence of your employment in the Trust. Interests that might appear to be in conflict should also be declared to your manager.

In addition, the NHS Code of Conduct and Standards of Business Conduct for NHS Staff (HSG 93/5) requires you to declare all situations where you or a close relative or associate has a controlling interest in a business (such as a private company, public organisation or other NHS voluntary organisation) or in any activity which may compete for any NHS contracts to supply goods or services to the Trust. You must therefore register such interests with the Trust, either on appointment or subsequently whenever such interests are gained. You should not engage in such interests without the written consent of the Trust, which will not be unreasonably
