Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the NHS: where are we now? Part 2 by Mental Health Network

Recorded in February, this second episode of a two-part podcast hears from Sally Scales, Head of Executive Search, NHS Leadership Academy as she interviews Nick Carver, Chief Executive, East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust and Chair, Midlands and East Regional Talent Board; Tracie Jolliff, National Director of Inclusion, NHS Leadership Academy and Joan Saddler OBE, Associate Director of Patients and Communities, NHS Confederation and Co-Chair, NHS Equality and Diversity Council. The panel discuss targets and quotas, as included in the NHS Long Term Plan, and offer their thoughts on what happens beyond bringing a diverse range of employees through the door; how can the NHS make sure it is not only attracting people from different backgrounds but also provide them the opportunity to thrive within its cultures?
