EDI and the National Health Service

Delivering EDI services to the NHS

We appreciate that many NHS Trusts work at maximum capacity and that people resources are more stretched than ever. We can offer additional EDI support to work independently or alongside existing EDI resources, either with regards to Human Resources departments or working with patient accessibility and stakeholder engagement.

We understand the unique culture of the NHS and the EDI demands and work within Trusts to support them to achieve not only their Public Sector Equality Duties but also the obligations of the Quality Contract that are bespoke to the NHS and its commitment to creating an inclusive and diverse workforce and accessible services to all.
