Here is a brief description of recent policy changes. Please make yourself aware of the changes, as they may also impact training requirements.

All our policies are found on the Policies and Documents Library. You can search for them by using key words, the policy name or number.

VIP or Celebrity Visitor Policy

We may arrange visits by celebrities and VIPs that could involve access to a range of services. These visitors will play a role in promoting our services, enhancing patients’ experience and motivating staff.

Equally, a well-known or VIP may come to the Trust as a patient, or relative of an inpatient and in these instances there is a requirement to protect their confidentiality and security.

What has changed? This policy has new guidance for any VIP attending our hospitals either as a patient, or a relative of a patient. Read it here: G-109-2015 VIP Visitor Policy.pdf (cht.nhs.uk)
