Are you passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and do you have lived experience or a keen interest in making a difference for those with protected characteristics? If so, we would like to invite you to join the Trust’s EDI Advocates Group.

For some people in the UK, there are still unfair and avoidable inequalities in their health and in their access to and experiences of NHS services.

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) wants to address these inequalities to meet, and exceed, our patients cultural and specific health concerns.

As a member of the EDI Advocates Group, you would work collaboratively to support and challenge SaTH in identifying existing health inequalities and develop action plans to tackle and eliminate such issues.

The ultimate aim is to ensure everyone at SaTH has a great patient experience, no matter their age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership and pregnancy and maternity.

We would ask that members of the group attend monthly meetings. If you would like more information, or an application form, please contact Claire Eagleton (Claire.eagleton@nhs.net) Lead Nurse/ AHP for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
