Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

​

Chiropractors have critical role in reducing inequalities, particularly health inequalities, and enhancing inclusion and cohesion within our clinic and our community. The overarching premise of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion is to create clinic environment where individuals do not simply receive the same
treatment but receive treatment that meets their individual needs. From a healthcare perspective, providing
equitable care does not mean providing the same great care for all. It means providing bespoke care for individuals based on their own health needs. 

​

All Chiropractors must:

                   - respect patient's privacy, dignity and cultural differences and their rights prescribed by law

                   - treat patients fairly and without discrimination and recognise diversity and individual choice

​

​

Diversity 

Diversity is about recognising and celebrating visible and non visible differences. 

​

Equality 

Equality ensures that groups or individuals are not treated less favourably because of their protected characteristics. 

​

Inclusion 

Inclusion is where people’s differences are valued and used to enable everyone to receive the best care in our clinic. 
An inclusive clinic is one in which everyone feels they belong without conforming.
