The Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust is committed to providing inclusive care and access to opportunity for all service users, workforce members and local communities.
The trust developed and published a Single Equalities Scheme (SES) in 2007, bringing together the legal duties to publish equality schemes for race, disability and gender and creating a more comprehensive and inclusive scheme by linking these to human rights, sexuality, age and faith or belief.
The scheme and its accompanying action plan are currently under review and a revised scheme will be available for comment towards the end of 2008. Information on consultation opportunities and events for the new scheme will be published as soon as they are available.
The Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust is engaged in a number of programmes and working groups both regionally and nationally that promote best working practice in relation to equality, diversity and human rights in service delivery and workforce management.
