We know that diversity and inclusion leads to better access, experience and outcomes for people and communities and staff in the NHS.

At NHS South East London Integrated Care Board (SEL ICB), equalities is central to the core purpose of the organisation. Our purpose includes strategic objectives to: improve outcomes in population health and health and care services, tackle health inequalities and support broader social and economic development in south east London.

NHS SEL ICB is committed to promoting diversity, inclusion, and human rights and tackling health inequalities across the the range of protected characteristics covering age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.

We aim to make equality, diversity and inclusion everyone’s responsibility within the ICB, whether this is in the workplace or through the services we plan and fund.
