Equality and diversity are at the heart of the NHS strategy. Investing in a diverse NHS workforce enables us to deliver a better service and improve patient care in the NHS.
Equality is about creating a fairer society where everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Diversity is about recognising and valuing difference in its broadest sense.
NHS Employers' equality and diversity team represents the views of NHS organisations on equality and diversity issues and also offer a broad range of advice, guidance and practical support for trusts.
