Ep. 12. The power of difference

A diverse healthcare workforce can better understand and serve diverse patient populations, fostering trust, empathy, and cultural competence. We’ll be delving into the reality of D&I efforts and the risks of disparities in access, treatment and outcomes if we don’t build a healthcare sector that respects the power of individuality and difference. In this episode we explore the challenges and triumphs of diversity and inclusion in healthcare. From addressing implicit biases to advocating for equitable policies, Cheryl Samuels, People & Culture Director at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust joins us to help our understanding of how healthcare organisations can strive to create a workplace that truly serves and represents everyone.
