The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust believes in providing equity in our services, in treating people fairly with respect and dignity and in valuing diversity both as a provider of cancer health services and as an employer.
Our equality and diversity aims
- Provide the best possible healthcare services we can, making sure that they are accessible and delivered in a way that respects the differing needs of the individual.
- Employ staff who are motivated because they feel valued for the contributions they make and the diversity they bring to The Royal Marsden, who are well trained and who reflect at all levels the diversity of the population The Royal Marsden serves.
- Embed our equality and diversity values into our policies and procedures and our everyday practice.
- Regularly monitor and report on our Single Equality Scheme, on patient and staff information and on equality impact assessments to evaluate how we are doing and set goals and actions in response.
- Ensure that all services procured for The Royal Marsden and all staff working on behalf of The Royal Marsden understand and support our commitment to promoting equality and diversity in everything we do.
The Royal Marsden believes that people who use our services, their carers and our staff should be treated with respect and dignity. This means we will not tolerate racism, homophobia, sexism or any other form of discrimination against staff, service users or carers. We are also committed to tackling these issues and we welcome any comments you may have to help us to improve.
We welcome the spirit and direction of the
NHS Constitution and will endeavour to ensure it is firmly embedded within our organisation.
