This week we’re joined by Roger Kline, academic and workforce culture consultant, to discuss Steve Barclay’s latest edict ordering the NHS to stop recruiting to equality, diversity and inclusion roles. Was the letter just red meat for the Daily Mail or could it do real damage?
We cover NHS England’s response, why the cost-savings argument doesn’t add up, and what’s next for EDI roles.
With Nick Kituno, Annabelle Collins and guest Roger Kline.
