A new agreement has been signed at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn to ensure staff from ethnic minorities feel even more secure.
The new document co-signed by the British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin will help to improve working relationships and bosses hope any issues that crop up can be dealt with even faster.
It is part of the hospital’s long-standing commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
Caroline Shaw CBE, Chief Executive at QEH, said: “The signing of this agreement is a really important step in our commitment to supporting our ethnic minority colleagues and working with BAPIO to promote equality, diversity and inclusion across the Trust.”
Chelsea Kirk, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Lead at QEH, added: ”27% of our workforce is made up of minority ethnic colleagues, and by undertaking this joint work we can strengthen the support we provide to them, particularly following what has been such a difficult time for them as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
