Words we use
We use the words below in this booklet. If you are new to the NHS,
you may not know what they mean.
Intranet
It's a bit like the internet but it's only for staff. You can only see it on
a Trust computer. It has lots of information for staff.
Departments often have their own page on the intranet. If there is
information about a department in this booklet, there will be a link to
their intranet page. Remember you can only use this on a Trust
computer.
The link to our mandatory training page is on the back page of this
booklet. Our page tells you about any new mandatory training or any
changes to mandatory training.
Datix
This is for reporting something. It might be something that you have
seen or heard which you think is not right - called an incident.
It is also if you think someone has "gone the extra mile" - you can
use the Datix to let the Trust know. We call this an Excellence
Report and the person will get a letter congratulating them.
The Datix is on the front page of the intranet.
