Ventilation Policy
This policy ensures that the ventilation systems are constructed and maintained so as to prevent danger to patients, staff and visitors whilst on Trust premises.
We know that some of our PDF documents may not be accessible to everyone but we’re working on it. As documents come up for renewal we aim to make them more accessible. In the meantime, if you need any of our policies in a different format please email [email protected]
