Blood test results must be from “identified validated samples” (IVS) and be documented as such.In some cases, it is possible for healthcare workers who have a blood borne virus, to carry out a range of EPP work. This will be assessed and monitored by an Occupational Health Consultant and the healthcare workers’ treating physician.

Healthcare workers who perform EPPs have a professional, ethical and legal duty to protect their patients and inform occupational health if they know (or suspect) that they are infected with a blood borne virus (hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV) now or at any time in the future. Further guidance is given by the relevant Regulatory Bodies.

To support the effective learning and development of all staff, providing the resources to do so.

To support the development of individuals in the post to which they are employed, so that they are effective at work and are clear about what is required of them.

CARE AND COMPASSION

As a Nurse, Allied Health Professional or Support Worker what you do and how you do it has a big impact on the quality of health care for people. Establishing effective relationships with people is absolutely essential to their sense of well-being and their attainment of the best possible health and clinical outcomes. It is this that makes the relationship ‘therapeutic’ that is, the relationship itself is a positive and proactive contribution to health and well-being. The best approach is therefore a simple one emphasising that an effective relationship begins with listening to the person and is based on mutuality, understanding and respect.

The basis of a good therapeutic relationship starts with being clear about people’s expectations.
