Diversity in the NHS
Supporting the NHS to tackle the challenges of discrimination and inequality, and deliver “a comprehensive service for all “; Exemplas draws on best practice in diversity to support NHS Trusts to develop the diverse workforce required to deliver high quality care for all.
With a commitment to providing an inclusive and equal health care service, understanding, appreciating and embracing diversity is central to NHS Trusts at strategic, managerial and workforce levels.
In an increasingly multi-cultural society, workforces must reflect the demographic composition of the people that they are serving in order to;
- understand and respond to customer’s needs;
- improve community engagement and widen participation;
- access and develop new talent; and
- improve reputation and reduce risk.
An awareness of cultural differences - and knowing where to access the right information and support – is key to providing personalised care, complying with legislation, and improving workforce cohesion.
With extensive experience in the diversity agenda and organisational and people development, Exemplas helps NHS Trusts to achieve these objectives through:
- Bespoke diversity training;
- Access to diversity resources and toolkits;
- Investors in Diversity (IiD) and Investors in People (IiP) frameworks and accreditation; and
- Leadership and Management training.
