Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard
to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to
everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after
our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as
possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences
in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity,
race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief.
The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have
an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other
formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to
these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able
to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
