King’s named as a finalist in the 2024 Nursing Times Workforce awards
16 September 2024 - Team King’s has been shortlisted for a 2024 Nursing Times Workforce award, in the category for Best Employer for Diversity and Inclusion
The Nursing Times Workforce Awards shine a light on those excelling in nurse recruitment and retention, wellbeing and inclusion, as well as many other areas linked to helping overcome the ongoing workforce challenge in health and social care.
King’s College Hospital’s nomination recognises the Trust’s work to deliver a Cultural Intelligence (CQ) Programme, supporting staff working in diverse teams and helping to foster a culture of inclusivity. The project, led by King’s Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) team has seen more than 320 staff benefit from bitesize training and over 100 staff take part in a CPD accredited full day workshop.
Bernadette Thompson OBE, Director of Equality Diversity and Inclusion at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, said: “I am absolutely delighted that the very hard work of the Trust’s EDI team has been recognised in this shortlist. The team has worked tirelessly over the past couple of years to develop strategies and initiatives to support the Trust on its journey to becoming a truly inclusive Trust. This shortlist is a testament and recognition of their hard work. I am extremely proud of them all.”
