NHS Trust celebrates equality and diversity
To celebrate Equality, Diversity and Human Rights Week 2017, we hosted two events – a day celebrating culture and a conference focusing on mental health discrimination within different cultures, for delegates across the Coventry and Warwickshire area.
Both days were well attended with guest speakers presenting talks on a variety of issues, including Professor Swaran Singh, Associate Director of Research and Innovation, who spoke about mental health and disabilities, plus service users who explained how they felt using mental health services.
Rano Bains, Head of Equality and Diversity at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust said: “Both days were very stimulating and thought-provoking. The number of people who attended the events shows just how important this subject is.”
“This is the sixth year that we have celebrated Equality, Diversity and Human Rights week. As well as the two celebration days, we also raised awareness within our Trust to highlight human rights, equality and diversity issues, which have an impact on us all too varying degrees.”
