Angela Hillery, joint Chief Executive of Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Leicestershire Partnership Trust, has today released an open letter committing the organisations to anti-racism.
In her letter and speaking of the death of George Floyd, Angela says, "Across both Trusts, we have held staff listening events with colleagues and managers to understand the impact of the tragedy in America and the COVID-19 pandemic. It is vital these conversations continue as it will help all of us to think about health inequalities."
"On behalf of both Trust boards, all of whom I know share my passion and commitment; it's time for us all now to live up to our respective values to show we are all collectively committed to anti-racism together for our colleagues, friends and our communities."
