The term policy within NUH encompasses all documents that outline our expectations for addressing issues/processes that affect our whole organisation. They are separated into 4 main categories:

• Clinical
• Governance
• Health & Safety
• Human Resources

The documentation control sheet at the front of each policy provides the approval, implementation and review dates and other important information such as the version number and a summary of changes made from the previous version.

If you would like to request previous versions of policies or have a query regarding a specific policy you can do this via the freedom of information process. Details of how to make freedom of information requests can be found on our FOI page.
