Equality, Diversity and Human Rights Week 2025
Now in its thirteenth year, the week is a platform for health and care organisations to highlight their work to create a fairer and more inclusive NHS for both patients and staff.
We encourage health and care organisations from across the country to get involved and support the campaign locally. It's an opportunity to:
- Celebrate the great work taking place around equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) that is driving improvement.
- Spotlight effective strategies and good practice initiatives that supports the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan and EDI improvement plan - so that organisations can use these locally to drive change to build more inclusive organisations.
- Improve staff experience for all staff, including those from marginalised groups.
- Raise awareness and help tackle inequalities in the workplace.
Each day, we focused on a different theme and shared insights and good practice, including guidance, videos, case studies, blogs and infographics.
