Glasgow : A Multicultural City Glasgow : A Multicultural City

Definitions Equality is about creating a fairer society where everyone can participate and has the opportunity to fulfill their potential. It is mostly backed by legislation designed to address unfair discrimination based on membership of a particular group. Diversity is about the recognition and valuing of difference in its broadest sense. It is about creating a culture and practices that recognise, respect, value and harness difference for the benefit of the patients, carers, members of the public and members of staff.

Disease Statistics People of Indian and Pakistani origin living in Scotland have an increased incidence of 60-70% of having a heart attack (Bhopal 2006) The incidence of Type II Diabetes Mellitus in Minority Ethnic communities in Glasgow is 8% compared to 3% in the indigenous population.
