Equality and Diversity (60 mins)

We suggest you read and complete the learning activities outlined in this document to help you reflect on issues of equality and diversity. Some of the listed resources are specific to the UK and their National Health System (NHS). You can discuss with your peer or mentor how to find locally relevant information, and use your own experience as a source of knowledge. There are many resources from the NHS Education for Scotland about conducting deep critical reflections that help practitioners gain self-awareness and communication skills, improve their clinical practice, and decrease burnout. This is one tool suggested by the NHS Effective Practitioner program, and other tools to record your learning can be found here as well. Although not mandatory for this training, we recommend that you build yourself a portfolio to document your professional learning. This can be a powerful tool to seek and obtain employment, and be successful in your occupation.
