Hope you found our Mobile Communications policy of some use in explaining our position.
Demarkation is a strong word, I would like to think our policy was "common sense" If Huw would like I can e-mail it to him for addition to the downloads. I know I sent it to Paul Balaam a while ago and he found it useful.
It is staff's responsibility to inform Joe Public of the re-mit to the policy. The "No" signs are so as to not to add to confusion, if we had too many signs it might get a bit "overcrowded".
If Joe-P were to ask then staff should be aware of Trust policy and inform them as to the "safe areas"
I suggest you follow up your enquiry with the MDA as to whether using a mobile outide a Renal unit 50cm away from equipment would have any consequences.
I guess by your "rule of thumb" I must be an Angel as I don't use/take a mobile into areas they shouldn't be.
