This course covers the Code of Conduct governing all employees and affiliated personnel at Ho Teaching Hospital. It addresses the legal mandate under Act 525 (1996), the definition of misconduct (acts of commission or omission that bring the Hospital into disrepute), the classification of offences into minor (petty, cannot cause dismissal) and major (serious, can cause dismissal), examples of each, and the application of sanctions. The Code applies to all staff, contract workers, house officers, interns, and national service personnel. The ultimate purpose is not punishment but ensuring orderly behaviour, with penalties as a last resort.
