NHS England published their NHS equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) improvement plan last week.
This improvement plan sets out actions to address the prejudice and discrimination that exists through behaviour, policies, practices and cultures against certain groups and individuals across the NHS workforce.
This plan
- Sets out why equality, diversity and inclusion is a key foundation for creating a caring, efficient, productive and safe NHS
- Explains the actions required to make the changes that NHS staff and patients expect and deserve, and who is accountable and responsible for their delivery
- Describes how NHS England will support implementation
- Provides a framework for integrated care boards to produce their own local plans.
