Equality & Diversity

The Trust's goal is to be a hospital of choice by improving all aspects of the patient experience. A key element of improving the patient experience is to ensure that we have a highly skilled, motivated, diverse, productive and patient focused workforce.

It is our aim to provide care and services that are appropriate and sensitive to all. We continually strive to make sure that our services have equality of access and are non-discriminatory.

We are proud of our role in the local community and we are keen to embrace the many cultures and traditions that make this community so diverse, and to ensure that these cultures and traditions are celebrated rather than becoming barriers to accessing services.

The diversity of our local community is reflected in the ethnic and cultural mix of our staff. By reflecting the diversity that surrounds us, our staff are better placed to understand and provide for the cultural and spiritual needs of our patients.

We strive to improve continually in this area as we know that each patient is different, and that responding to your feedback is an integral part of helping to develop the services we provide you.
