The Trust has a longstanding commitment to promote equality, eliminate harassment and value the diversity of our patients and staff. Equality means treating all our patients, visitors and staff fairly and ensuring that our services are equally accessible and understandable to all.

 

The Trust has therefore adopted the Single Equality Scheme which embraces the six nationally recognised equality strands: age, disability, gender, race, religion/belief and sexual orientation. The scheme explains how the Trust is working to promote best practice in these areas and ensure that there is equality in accessing services for disabled patients, visitors and staff.

 

We hope this page will make it easier to find information that will be helpful to carers and those with a disability.
