Healthcare and Diversity Principle 1 of the NHS Constitution ‘The NHS provides a comprehensive service, available to all irrespective of gender, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief. It has a duty to each and every individual that it serves and must respect their human rights. At the same time, it has a wider social duty to promote equality through the services it provides and to pay particular attention to groups or sections of society where improvements in health and life expectancy are not keeping pace with the rest of the population’.

Future focus Family and Child Health: Autism spectrum, Disordered eating, Obesity Delirium & Dementia Leadership Culture/ethnicity/spirituality & health Service User and Carer experience Building a research focus and reputation- for home grown research A key part of growing success will be building on BDCT’s existing known strengths. From recent consultation and review of our strategy and review of current projects we have identified clear areas of excellence therefore we propose that the focus for developing applied health research within the Trust will largely include the following areas: Dementia: Older peoples (mental health) research: beginning to develop team here Addressing diversity : e.g. the development and modification of assessment and referral tools also therapies : link into the addressing depression: Addressing depression sits very well within the Research focus of the trust Family and childhood: e.g. Eating disorders, obesity and Autism: and collaborative teams here too Service user and carer experience: The aim is not to exclude all research outside these areas, but to build a ‘critical mass’ of experience and expertise in these domains by focusing our resources. Students and staff undertaking research projects in the Trust (e.g. Masters, PhD) should be encouraged to develop projects relevant to these Trust priorities.
