As Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Integrated Care System, we are proud to serve a great range of diverse communities across our area. We do this with an incredibly versatile team of health and care workers and volunteers.
We want to make sure that everyone in our area has the best opportunities to live the healthiest life possible – no matter what their background, including their ethnicity, gender identity, age or religion, is. We also want to create a working environment for colleagues across the Integrated Care System where everyone can bring their full selves to work.
The ICS is driven by and influence system priorities, strategies, and plans. Success will be achieved through thoughtful and meaningful cross-system collaboration; and think differently in service of innovation and action. We have three priority workforce groups, within the ICS:
- Recruitment & Retention
- Equality Diversity Inclusion
- Leadership & Culture
In addition, we have subgroups for these priority groups and several enabler groups to serve the priority areas. Our EDI objectives are linked to the antiracism strategy and the three main objectives are:
- Create an inclusive environment for all staff and residents
- Improve cultural literacy across the system
- Develop a repeatable model to embed anti-racism strategy
