Medical Intelligence Systems is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and in full compliance with the principles of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. We recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our own operations and throughout our supply chain.
Our business
Medical Intelligence Systems provides digital health technologies and services to healthcare organisations. Our work involves partnerships with software developers, medical technology suppliers, consultancy partners, and service contractors. While our operations are primarily office-based and low risk in relation to modern slavery, we remain vigilant and proactive in ensuring ethical practices across all tiers of our supply chain.
Our commitment
We are committed to:
- Ensuring there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain.
- Upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability.
- Working only with partners who share our commitment to ethical labour practices.
Our supply chain
Our suppliers include technology vendors, professional service providers, and equipment suppliers. As part of our supplier due diligence, we:
- Assess new suppliers based on ethical and compliance criteria.
- Expect suppliers to uphold labour standards aligned with the Modern Slavery Act.
- Reserve the right to terminate relationships with any supplier unable or unwilling to meet these standards.
Policies and controls
The following internal policies support our stance against modern slavery:
- Supplier Code of Conduct: outlining expectations for labour practices, human rights, and ethical behaviour.
- Whistleblowing Policy: enabling employees to report concerns confidentially, without fear of reprisal.
- Recruitment and HR Policies: ensuring all employees are recruited legally, transparently, and fairly.
- Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy: reinforcing our commitment to ethical operations.
Risk assessment and due diligence
Although we operate in a low-risk sector, we conduct ongoing reviews to ensure:
- There are no indicators of forced labour within internal operations.
- Suppliers, particularly those providing physical goods or offshore services, meet our expected standards.
- Any concerns raised are investigated and resolved promptly.
Training and awareness
We provide staff with awareness materials and guidance on:
- Identifying signs of modern slavery.
- Reporting procedures for any suspected issues.
- Upholding ethical sourcing and procurement practices.
Continuous improvement
Medical Intelligence Systems is committed to strengthening our processes by:
