For the avoidance of doubt, this includes all officers and directors of HH as well as all employees (i.e. permanent, contract, bank and temporary staff). It aims to reduce potential exposure of HH to corrupt practices by formalising the organisation s commitment to maintaining business integrity and values that fulfil social, regulatory and legal obligations.

4 Facilities Car Parking Staff have started parking in the main car park and using the spaces on the roundabout as their preferred option. Please be reminded that the staff car park should be your first option, followed by the parking just below Panorama. Failing this there are spaces outside the old workshop. We are fully aware that parking is at a premium on site, but we cannot have repeat instances of patients being forced to leave their vehicle in St John s Road and then having to walk, especially whilst suffering from joint problems, which occurred recently. This was totally unacceptable as there were spaces available for staff in the staff car park. It does not reflect well on the organisation, and creates anxiety for our patients. Please think carefully about where you park, and be considerate to those that need the space more than you. This situation will be carefully monitored and any staff found to be parking incorrectly will be asked to move their vehicle to an alternative location. Your co-operation in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Events Ladies Night Ladies night is taking place here at The Horder Centre on Thursday 8th November 2012 from 7.00pm pm. Tickets cost just 5 which includes a glass of fizz on arrival. Join us for an evening of relaxed shopping, Colour Confident Style Presentations for just 5 and beauty treatments from Knowle Grange Spa from only 7. Tickets are available from the Coffee Shop or from Angela Reynolds. Diagnostic Imaging On Tuesday 20 th November, Horder Healthcare will be teaming up with Medical Imaging Partnership to deliver an evening on diagnostic imaging. The event includes light refreshments served from 6.00pm and CPD certificates. The evening will begin at 6.30pm and include discussions on MRI imaging in musculo-skeletal disorders, secure e-referral and online access to images and reports, as well as a live demonstration of a musculo-skeletal ultrasound. This event is relevant for all Clinical staff and spaces are limited, so please reserve your place through Karen East via , or on ext W:\WOB\2012\October\ \WOB docx Page 4 of 5
