The Dudley Group of Hospitals takes part in all of the national government initiatives and developments to improve the NHS.

Together, staff, patients and visitors share the responsibility for creating a caring and healthy environment within the hospital.

Staff have the same rights as patients and visitors to be treated with respect and dignity at all times and expect to receive the same level of courtesy. Unreasonable behaviour against any individual is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

As alcohol may contribute to unacceptable behaviour, alcohol consumption is prohibited in the Trust's hospitals.
