The following standards apply to all aspects of Health Service activity. More specific performance standards are detailed under each individual service. These specific standards are those, which the Service aims to provide, but which may not be achievable consistently in a small department resourced with only 1.6 FTE clinicians. All clinicians are fully registered with their respective Professional Body and work to a strict code ethics and professional standards. Continued professional development is encouraged by regular attendance of study days and professional fora.
All clinical staff have full professional indemnity insurance.
All patients are assured of complete clinical confidentiality. Disclosure of medical information to a third party is only done with the patient's informed consent except in circumstances specified in the medical code of ethics. Non clinical staff have all signed a strict confidentiality clause as part of their contract of employment.
