Recommendation 5
5
Lack of diverse representation in NHS leadership and midwifery education limits care.
Conclusion
Addressing the current lack of diverse representation within NHS leadership and midwifery education is one practical action that can be taken to address concerns. When those entrusted with shaping clinical knowledge and practice and leading our healthcare organisations overwhelmingly reflect a single demographic, it limits the breadth of what is taught, prioritised, and thus, how care is delivered. (Conclusion, Paragraph 38)
