The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust
is committed to embedding equality and diversity in all the
services offered to staff, patients and visitors.
This is in
recognition of the fact that increased involvement with the local
community helps the organisation to understand the different
needs of the community.
Better understanding of the different needs of
the community results in the provision of the best possible
healthcare and makes the Trust the first choice provider of
specialist clinical services for patients.
The Trust also recognises that a diverse workforce brings
different talents to the workplace. These talents will enhance the
ability of the Trust to innovate and thus to maintain a competitive
edge. Policies which are designed to value and respect staff also
improve staff retention and lead to increased
productivity.
The Trust also acknowledges its legal
responsibility to eliminate unlawful discrimination, promote
equality of opportunity and good race relations.
The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust
believes that it is everybody’s responsibility to promote equality
and diversity in the Trust and continues to promote this
approach through ongoing training and activities aimed at
increasing awareness of different needs.
