Improve inclusion, for both patients and staff, in your healthcare environment
Fulfilment in personal and professional life is facilitated by feeling able to bring one’s complete self to work. The promotion of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) and its support in the workplace is crucial to achieving this. Diverse and inclusive teams are characterised by good people management, leading to better decision-making and improved performance which staff wellbeing and patient safety depend on.

Racism in healthcare
Women in healthcare
Sexual orientation and gender identity
Disability, disparities and ableism in medicine
Teaching equality, diversity, and inclusion in healthcare
The authors are distinguished healthcare practitioners whose personal and professional lives have been enriched by the diversity of all they meet through t
