Equality and Diversity Policy
Ending Sexism in Medicine Pledge
ENT UK has signed the BMA’s Ending Sexism in Medicine Pledge to commit to help address the cultural and structural factors that cause sexism in order to improve working conditions for medical students and doctors.
The BMA’s Ending Sexism in Medicine Pledge will get us closer to a world where doctors and medical students can work in a safe environment free from discrimination, and where gender plays no role in career progression or how they are treated. We want medicine to celebrate diversity, making all doctors and medical students feel valued, included and protected by their employers.
This is a joint pledge to unite medical organisations with impact on the working conditions of medical students and doctors so we can work collaboratively to address the cultural and structural factors that cause sexism.
