Due to the Trust specialising in caring for people with mental health conditions extra care and provisioning is required when working within this hospital environment as they are all live, patients all have vulnerabilities with a majority classed as high risk and dangerous. All our staff are DBS checked, equality and diversity, customer care, safeguarding trained we also hold exhaustive site inductions informing all employees of the working environment and what to expect prior to works commencing.
Maintaining the safety of patients, NHS staff, the general public and our operatives is a primary concern when working in Healthcare environments.
