Building Leadership For Inclusion
Across health and care, the workforce is increasingly diverse. For example, nearly 20% of the 1.3 million people that work in the NHS are from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds and 77% of the NHS workforce are women. Yet this diversity is significantly underrepresented in senior leadership roles.Barriers also exist for both disabled employees and LGBT+ staff for whom workplace attitudes and cultures constitute significant obstacles to progress.
