The actions and tools in these document were developed by the Midlands and East Regional Talent Board (M & E RTB) with input from diversity and inclusion advisors, Doyin Atewologun and Roger Kline, with the aim of supporting NHS organisations to increase the diversity of their workforce, particularly at a senior level. Following the implementation of these actions by board and governing body members in their own organisations, they would like to recommend that all NHS leaders in the region implement these actions within their own trusts and integrated care systems (ICSs).
