Inclusivity in pharmacy: The key to addressing health inequalities

About this event

National data from the Pharmacy Workforce Race Equality Standard (PWRES) and the NHS Staff Survey highlights disparities in the experiences of staff from ethnic minority backgrounds in the workplace. One of the key challenges identified is the underrepresentation of ethnic minorities in senior leadership positions within the NHS throughout the pharmacy workforce.

To effectively address health inequalities, it is essential that the pharmacy workforce reflects the diverse population it serves. In response, the NHS England Chief Pharmaceutical Officer, in collaboration with key stakeholders, has developed the national Inclusive Pharmacy Practice (IPP) principles.

Within the North East and Yorkshire region, a dedicated steering group has been established to address IPP across the region. The group aims to support organisations in fostering inclusive environments and tackling workplace inequalities.
