Welcome to the Diversity and Equality webpages
We believe that Equality and Diversity (E&D) is central to what we do.
Equality is about creating a fairer society where everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. The Trust recognises the right of all partients, visitors and employees to be treated fairly and considerably in access to service and employment, irrespective of age, gender, marital status, religious belief, ethnic background, nationality, sexual orientation, disability and social status. This commitment has been demonstrated by the appointment of a Head for Equality and Diversity (E&D) who has taken a lead role on the E&D agenda at a strategic level.

"I am extremely excited to join Heart of England. My immediate view of the Trust is that it’s a friendly and dynamic place to work.
“My role here will be to ensure that services meet the needs of patients in relation to disability, race, age, gender, ethnicity, cultural background, sexual orientation, class and religious belief. I will also work towards ensuring all staff are treated fairly.”

Our attitude determines the way that we view and relate to others we meet and work with. A working definition might be 'Diversity is the word used to describe the relative uniqueness of each individual'.
Our uniqueness includes our skills, interests, experience, values and ambitions. Each of us is rich with possibilities. The Equality and Diversity department seeks to encourage all of us to value the possibilities in each other and explore the opportunities that difference brings.

Diversity is about differences. Our vision is to acknowledge those differences and to understand how as a Trust we can respect them. In doing so, we can give health care in a way that it will be well received and most successful for all.
