Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was rated inadequate and placed into special measures in September 2015.
27% of staff are not from the UK (14% EU staff and 13% from the rest of the world). There is an underpinning thread of equality and diversity in the trust’s work. This includes:
- the senior team working closely with its EU staff following the EU referendum result and holding a workshop with an MP to reassure staff and answer any questions
- the equality and diversity team providing talks, seminars and films
- mandatory training on unconscious bias; this has made a strong impact
- visual cues’ of inclusion and diversity made from the flags of the different home countries of staff are displayed all over the trust and online
- the trust working with groups of vulnerable people and regularly discusses inclusion with staff to highlight discrimination issues
The trust was rated as good in January 2017.
