Equality and Inclusion lead Midwife - Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom - University Hospital of North Midlands NHS Trust
Description
Job summary
Significant inequalities in maternity outcomes persist in the UK, for Women from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups experiencing particular disadvantage. Determinants of health inequalities amongst Black, Asian and minority ethnic women are multifactorial. However, there is evidence that current service provision contributes importantly to adverse outcomes in this group of people.
A number of barriers can be identified that undermine timely access to high quality care for many Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups, with still birth rates twice those of their white counterparts and a 45% higher neonatal death rate. The diversity, Equality and Inclusion lead will also assess the training needs of staff so that conversations around race and culture are sensitive and meet the needs of the communities we serve.
The lead will work alongside culturally diverse and vulnerable groups to dispel perceptions and provide assurance that safe, quality care will be provided in maternity services and ensure any barriers that prohibit women and their families accessing such care are removed.
In this position a lead role will also be taken in relation to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, developing an EDI framework and approach to support the Trust's commitment to foster an inclusive working environment that promotes equality of opportunity and diversity for all staff members, patients and their families.
Main duties of the job
Provide a service that women and families from culturally diverse and vulnerable backgrounds can access to reduce the risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality.
Provide training to staff and institutions around cultural awareness, tackling difficult conversations.
Provide assurance that in line with saving babies lives, there will be a concerted effort to reduce morbidity and mortality.
