Health & Safety

When you or your loved ones are unwell, the priority becomes speedy recovery! Our priority is, along with aiding your recovery, ensuring your health and safety. Whilst you are in the hospital premises, we make every effort to protect our patients, visitors and staff from any harm or hazard.

At Ninewells premises, stepping beyond the mainstream atmosphere of hospitals, we maintain a safe environment. Moreover, we keep quality indicators to maintain sterility in our hospital. Our hospital is conducting Acquired Infection Surveillance to improve the overall quality of health care in the hospital. For the visitors and staff to comprehend easily, there are safety signs displayed around the hospital premises.

Beyond the measures of physical safety, we strive to safeguard the wellness of our staff as well. Thus, the staff at Ninewells have undergone immunisation to prevent communicable diseases. Focusing on risk management aspects, we have provided fire training and Basic Life Support Training (BLS) to all our staff. This BLS training is done in order to educate our staff on how to act during an emergency and to contribute to the survival of the victim.

Furthermore, pest controlling measures are practiced at Ninewells. Believing prevention is of utmost importance, we have introduced the concept of incident reporting to keep track of the incidences which give a negative impact to patients or employees, to avoid any future occurrences of the same events.

By implementing the aforementioned proactive health and safety practices at Ninewells, we have been able to provide the best quality care to our patients in a safe and sound environment.
