The NHS Constitution for England establishes the principles and values of the NHS in England. The first principle is that the NHS provides a comprehensive service, available to all.

It is available to all, irrespective of gender, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, belief, gender reassignment, or marital or civil partnership status.

As we know, the mental health of ethnic minorities continues to be unmet; have you and your team thought about this and reviewed your caseload?

Please know that we particularly welcome referrals of patients from a wide and diverse background to ensure they are representative of the wider population we serve.

Please complete the following fields on the following form in as much detail as possible:
