英國國民健康服務基金會近日提醒護士遵守醫院着裝標準，禁穿低胸裝或露臍裝。

East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust has issued a strict new uniform policy for all staff after a series of complaints from patients.

在接到病人的大量投訴後，赫特福德郡東部及北部行政區的英國國民健康服務基金會最新發布了嚴格的護士着裝標準。

The six-page uniform policy was agreed in March and aims to establish a "professional and consistent" image which reflects the ''Trust's values''.

這份六頁長的着裝標準於三月獲批，旨在建立能夠反映“基金會價值觀”的“專業及一致”的形象。

It reads: "Staff will not dress in ways that undermines the spirit of this policy and clothing that exposes the midriff, torsoor excessive cleavage, along with wearing denim, shorts, leggings and mini-skirts, are not acceptable."

其中寫道：“醫務工作者不允許穿着有悖於着裝標準理念的服飾，禁止穿着露臍裝、過於暴露的服飾、低胸裝、牛仔褲、短褲、緊身褲、和超短裙。

Hannah Middleton, Unisonbranch secretary for the Trust, said the policy was agreed by trade unions and staff councils following a series complaints from patients.

該基金會英國公共服務業工會（Unison）分部的祕書漢娜 米德爾頓稱，這份着裝標準獲得了工會和僱員委員會的批准。此前，醫務工作者着裝曾遭到病人的大量投訴。

She said: ''We needed a policy that covered all staff whether they were in the clinical side or non-uniform staff.

她說：“我們需要制定一套覆蓋全體醫務工作者的着裝標準，包括臨牀醫務人員以及不穿制服的工作者。”

''There had been complaints from patients about members of staff baring their midriff and problems with health and safety as some had been wearing sandals.

“病人曾投訴醫生護士穿露臍裝，以及穿涼鞋時帶來的健康和安全問題。”

''There has always been a policy but it has now been toughened up.''

“着裝標準以前就有，但現在要求更嚴格了。”

The Trust has also warned staff it will carry out ''audits'' of the uniform policy in every ward, department and service area.

基金會還提醒醫務工作者，將對每個病房、門診和工作區的着裝進行“審查”。

Anyone caught breaking the uniform policy, which applies to nurses, doctors and non-clinical staff, will face disciplinary action.

任何違反着裝標準的個人都將面臨紀律處分，包括護士、醫生、以及非醫務工作者。

The policy also bans the wearing of hair ribbons, combsand sharp decorative slidesand orders beards and moustaches to be ''clean and neatly trimmed''.

該標準還禁止佩戴髮帶、髮飾、尖利的裝飾性發夾，並要求男士修剪鬍鬚，做到“乾淨整潔”。
