Equality & Human Rights in General Practice
The aim of this Lunch and Learn is to provide staff within General Practice with an understanding of the meaning of equality and human rights, what this means for the Practice, as well as what is required for the Practice to achieve CQC compliance.
By the end of this training staff should be able to demonstrate:
- a level of understanding of equality and how it relates on a legal and CQC level within the practice, with the aim of avoiding discrimination;
- the meaning of diversity and differences between people and why a Practice needs to understand this;
