Tackling inequalities to transform care

Our Tackling Inequalities Programme complements national, regional and local strategies on equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and health inequalities.

Offering practical guidance, insightful resources and opportunities to connect, we support members to promote diverse recruitment, have confidence in those with lived experience, to develop their workforces and build an inclusive leadership pipeline for the future.

We do this through practical, evidence-based approaches in three areas:

• Equity – empowering members to lead through community and workforce engagement.
• Leadership – supporting members to build a diverse leadership.
• Accountability – a clear and effective system of accountability.

The NHS Confederation also hosts the independent NHS Race and Health Observatory, which offers valuable support to members to identify and tackle ethnic inequalities in health and care.
