Equality and diversity impact assessment

Staff are reminded that they may have patients who require communication in a form other than English e.g. other languages or signing. Additionally, some patients may have difficulties with written material. At all times, communication and material should be in the patients preferred format. This may also apply to patients with learning difficulties.

In some circumstances there may be religious and/or cultural issues which may impact on this guideline e.g. choice of gender of healthcare professional. Consideration should be given to these issues when treating/examining patients.

Some patients may have a physical disability that makes it difficult for them to be treated/examined as set out in the guideline requiring adaptations to be made.

Patient’s sexuality may or may not be relevant to the implementation of this guideline; however, non-sexuality specific language should be used when asking patients about their sexual history. Where sexuality may be relevant, tailored advice and information may be given.

This guideline has been impact assessed using the NHS Ayrshire and Arran Equality and Diversity Impact Assessment Tool Kit. No additional Equality & Diversity issues were identified. Emergency Services have systems in place to ensure that patients attending who are not registered with a GP receive information on where to seek ongoing health care.
