Main Tasks and Responsibilities
Confidentiality
The postholder is required not to disclose such information, particularly that relating to patients and staff.
All employees are subject to the Data Protection Act 1998 and must not only maintain strict confidentiality in respect of patient and staff records, but the accuracy and integrity of the information contained within. The postholder must not at any time use personal data held by the Trust for any unauthorised purpose or disclosure such as data to a third party. You must not make any disclosure to any unauthorised person or use any confidential information relating to the business affairs of the Trusts, unless expressly authorised to do so by the Trust.
Health and Safety
The post holder must co-operate with management in discharging responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and take reasonable care for his or her own health and safety, and that of others. The postholder must also ensure the agreed safety procedures are carried out to maintain a safe environment for patients, employees and visitors.
Equal Opportunities
The postholder is required at all times to carry out responsibilities with due regard to the Trust’s Equal Opportunities Policy and to ensure that staff 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 and 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 position in the Trust. Interests that might appear to be in conflict should also be declared.
In addition the NHS Code of Conduct and Standards of Business conduct for NHS Staff (HSG 93/5) required 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 withheld. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are not placed in a position, which may give rise to a conflict between your private patient’s interest and your NHS duties.
