Being Inclusive

Being inclusive is really important to us. Each patient, staff member and visitor is an individual with their own unique story, background and needs and we want everyone to feel welcome and respected here. Our Ethnic Diversity, LGBT+ and Disability Staff Networks also play a vital role in this as well as being a fantastic way to get to know people, discuss things and socialise in a friendly, supportive and safe forum.
