INCLUSION STATEMENT

Inclusion is at the heart of the care we provide and the way we support our team. It is not an initiative, but a cultural foundation, an evolving commitment and a core organisational strength. We believe that when our team brings their authentic self to work, they can flourish personally and professionally, so inclusion is woven into our governance and receives consistent focus through our thriving staff networks. We know first-hand that inclusive organisations succeed across every domain that matters and as a hospital we know that person-centred care relies on people! Being an ‘Inclusive Company’ matters to us because it let’s the world know that we are committed to inclusion and diversity.

Jo WilliamsCEO STATEMENT
JO WILLIAMS

The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital has been on a significant journey – evolving from a small specialist Trust to an influential leader, helping to define the future of orthopaedics. Our accomplishments are predicated on strong foundations; wellbeing, holistic care, participation and perhaps most importantly, inclusion.

These are not just words, they are the person-centred principles which define our journey. Putting people first has allowed us to achieve so much, adapt to challenges post-pandemic, and build an incredible culture. We’re proud of how far we’ve come and we’re excited about the impact we can have for patients in the future. While building a truly inclusive culture is challenging and ongoing, our mantra ‘let people bring their authentic selves to work’ is a great guiding principle, both permissive and ambitious. We are truly committed to inclusion and know that it is not static, in order to continue to foster a positive, open and supportive culture that celebrates difference and see diversity as a strength.
