Equality and Diversity Statement
Last updated: 8th January 2026
Better Surgery is committed to promoting equality, valuing diversity and fostering inclusion across all our services. We believe that everyone preparing for surgery deserves access to clear, respectful and supportive information, regardless of background, identity or personal circumstances.
We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment or exclusion on the basis of age, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion or belief, pregnancy or maternity, marriage or civil partnership, or any other characteristic protected under the Equality Act 2010.
Our Commitments
We are committed to:
-
Treating all course participants, contributors and partners with dignity, fairness and respect
-
Designing educational content that is inclusive, empathetic and culturally sensitive
-
Supporting a wide range of learning needs through accessible design and clear communication
-
Providing subtitles for all videos and using accessible formatting in written materials
-
Expanding inclusion through future translations and large-print versions of course resources
-
Regularly reviewing our content and practices to identify and reduce barriers to participation
Working With Our Community
We recognise that inclusion is an ongoing process. We actively welcome feedback from course participants, healthcare professionals and partners. This informs continual improvement in how we design and deliver Better Surgery courses and helps us ensure that Better Surgery remains a supportive, inclusive and culturally sensitive resource for everyone undergoing surgery.
