The NHS London Anchor Programme has been established to address health inequalities in the capital and to maximise the NHS’ role in London’s economic, social, and cultural recovery. We are holding the fourteenth in our series of monthly ‘lunch and learn’ sessions, on Wednesday the 8th of February from 12:30 to 13:30.

At our Fourteenth ‘lunch and learn’, we are delighted to welcome Roger Kline OBE, to give a presentation on equality, diversity, and inclusion in the NHS. Roger is the author of “No more tick boxes: a review of the evidence on how to make recruitment and career progression fairer” (2021), and “The Snowy White Peaks of the NHS” (2014). He designed the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) and was appointed as the joint national director of the WRES team from 2015-17.

This talk will include an overview of challenges, evidence-based solutions, and best practice principles in recruiting and retaining a diverse and inclusive workforce. It will be held on the 8th of February, from 12:30 to 13:30.
