The Trust's Black and Minority Ethnic Network aims to assist all
staff to reach their full potential and contribute to the success
of the Trust. Through networking opportunities, mentoring schemes
and skills development workshops, the Network offers support to
staff from across the Trust.
The BME network meets once a month to discuss a range of professional
and development issues and often receives guest speakers from outside
the organisation. The network also runs a range of practical workshops
for staff to provide support and career development.
The BME network is just one way in which the Trust celebrates and
supports the diversity of our staff and the communities we serve. Located
in the heart of the capital, we serve some of the most diverse communities
in the UK where more than 130 languages are spoken. We recognise that
we can only serve these communities properly if our workforce reflects the
mix of patients who we treat on a daily basis. A more diverse workforce
means better patient care.
The Trust has a number of different initiatives as part of a comprehensive equality and diversity programme to address issues of race, age,
gender, sexual orientation and disability. |
