We will not accept abuse of any kind. This includes verbal or physical abuse, threatening behaviour, intimidation, racism, or discrimination towards colleagues, other patients, or visitors.
Any individual behaving in this way will be asked to leave immediately. Security teams will be called to remove those who refuse, and in serious cases we will involve the police. Where appropriate, we also reserve the right to refuse treatment.
We are proud to work with partners across our communities in support of anti-racism. Together, we are committed to tackling racism in all its forms, and to ensuring our hospitals remain safe, respectful and welcoming for everyone.
The NHS belongs to all of us, and we will not tolerate actions or language that undermine the safety, dignity, and wellbeing of others.
Thank you for helping us keep DBTH a place of care, respect and equality.
