As the gender champions for the Trust we represent both our staff and our patients. Our aim is to work with all staff in the Trust to ensure that the provision of services and care to our patients is equal for men, women and trans-genders. While for our staff we need to ensure that an individual's gender does not lead to bias in their working environment or developmental and promotional aspirations.
We would be delighted to hear from anyone; staff, patients and relatives, to discuss, in confidence, issues or concerns they may have, or ideas they would like to be investigated.
The action for gender equality, is in-line with the core principles of our Equality and Diversity strategy. Issues of gender in-equality have progessed and improved during the last century, but there remains the need to ensure that within our diverse society and across different cultures, that gender discrimination and bias is not tolerated. Sadly gender bias and discrimination is still prevelant in some cultures and societies, the challenge now is too ensure gender equality for all.
