Amsterdam UMC is made up of its doctors, nurses, researchers and all the other employees, patients and students together. And our mission is that we together develop tomorrow’s healthcare today. But we cannot do that alone. This is something we can only do with our partners: the hospitals across the region, the other university medical centres, our two universities, other partners across the region and researchers from all across the world. Our core values
of inquisitive, caring and enterprising are written in our code of conduct.
We are Amsterdam UMC
Code of Conduct Amsterdam UMC
Summary
Our behaviour should demonstrate the following principles
We respect each other and each other’s boundaries.
We are aware of our own influence on other people’s behaviour.
We listen to each other and we call each other to account.
We are open to feedback, we adapt our behaviour where necessary and we give feedback to others.
We look critically at the working environment around us: we monitor whether the workplace is safe and pleasant for ourselves and other people, on a physical and psychological level.
We work together: We trust each other while working and we contribute to other people’s work.
We work actively on our own personal development and we contribute to changes and developments in the organisation.
We handle confidential (patient and organisational) information with care.
We are ambassadors for Amsterdam UMC and we act as such. We always bear in mind the interests of Amsterdam UMC in our network and when engaging in work for third parties.
We do not discriminate against or exclude anyone, we seek to find possible unconscious biases to avoid inadvertent discrimination and exclusion. We strive for a safe environment, in which everyone can take part and feels included.
We take an interest in each other, respect each other’s differences and try to learn from each other.
We behave with integrity. We carry out our work and our research carefully, impartially and independently.
