Northumbria Healthcare NHS Trust Equity & Inclusion Statement of Intent
At Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, we value diversity and inclusion and strive to build a workforce that reflects the communities we serve.

We are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer, a Stonewall Diversity Champion, and hold a Gold award from the Defence Recognition Scheme. As a mindful employer, we support Apprenticeships and Age Positive initiatives.
We have moved beyond using “Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion” because we believe these terms don’t fully express our commitment to fair and equal access for all. For us, Equity means ensuring everyone has the opportunity to access our services and receive the best possible care.
