At Vita Health Group equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our offering. We continue to develop our commitments to monitor and understand the various health inequalities which may be affecting our service users through mechanisms such as the Equality Delivery System (EDS) which is an equality improvement tool used across the NHS. We use this tool to ensure our services meet local community needs, address inequality and better our work environments. Our latest report can be found here.

We want to ensure that all service users feel safe, valued, respected, and supported whilst accessing our services, with freedom to bring their whole authentic self to their appointments with us. This includes those who are most vulnerable. For further information on Safeguarding, please visit the following link: Safeguarding Statement – Vita (vitahealthgroup.co.uk)
