NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) is developing a West Yorkshire Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy for health and care and is keen to hear from staff and people who use health and care services to help shape the priorities.  

They are running an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy Development event on 9 July 2024 from 10.00am to 4.00pm at Kala Sangam Arts Centre, Bank House, 41 Bank Street BD1 1RD. If you would like to attend, please register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/918702502917?aff=oddtdtcreator
