Visiting the Trust

The Trust recognises that the prime function of company representatives is to promote and sell their products and services. The Trust also recognises the importance of being aware of new and alternative products and services on the market. These functions must be carried out in an appropriate and ethical manner and must not contravene Trust, NHS or Government policies.

The Trust has a clear procedure in place which aims to put the relationship between the Trust and its suppliers on a sound and professional basis. Adherence to the procedure will ensure that all suppliers are managed in a professional, appropriate and equitable manner. It also serves to reduce the risk in regard to security, unwanted intrusion on staff and nursing time, unfavourable commercial and financial terms being agreed, the undermining of existing agreements and the possible use of unapproved products.

The Trust expects all suppliers to adhere to this procedure, and Company representatives looking to make visits at QVH will need to book an appointment via our MIA – E-Learning and Appointment Booking System | Medical Industry
