* Work effectively with the healthcare provider, HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and other relevant stakeholders.
* Be needs-led, patient focused and change according to the needs of the population of the Kent and Medway prisons and HMPPS.

* Ensure that the delivery of medicines management services within the prison meets the needs of the individual and diverse prison population, with specific reference to the six strands of equality and diversity.
* Deliver the services using the most appropriate clinical staff to address the needs of prisoners and the wider healthcare service.
* Implement relevant guidance as applicable and, in each case, as amended from time to time, to ensure prisoners with disabilities and/or communication difficulties can access the services.
* Supply to all non-English speaking prisoners a professional translation service during all consultations and, for the most common languages spoken, translations of explanatory materials including patient information leaflets.
* Ensure that prisoners are treated with dignity and respect
