British Hernia Society (BHS) - statement of Equality and Diversity
As a society we recognise the value of inclusivity and diversity not only for our membership but importantly by reflecting this within our Board itself. The BHS fully recognises that different people bring different perspectives, ideas, knowledge and culture, so by embracing these differences makes us stronger.
The BHS is strongly opposed to any form of discrimination or exclusion based on individual characteristics and circumstances, such as age; disability; caring or dependency responsibilities; gender or gender identity; marriage and civil partnership status; political opinion; pregnancy and maternity; race, colour, caste, nationality, ethnic or national origin; religion or belief; sex; sexual orientation; socio-economic background; trade union membership status or other distinctions.
The BHS will continue to respect the rights of individuals, including the right to hold different views and beliefs. We will not allow these differences to be manifested in a way that is hostile or degrading to others.
The BHS remains fully committed to working with all our members towards the achievement of our remit to enhance education in hernia surgery.
