In the comments section of a recent newspaper article, one reader cruelly suggested that had the paediatric doctors at Lucy Letby’s hospital reported her for the crime of misgendering anyone, Letby would have been disciplined and probably fired faster than you could scream ‘transphobe’. But murdering premature babies, that was seemingly not a serious offence for our woke hospital bosses. And so, our politicians and media promise us (yet another) ‘independent inquiry’ which will (yet again) ‘leave no stone unturned’ and will (yet again) conclude that ‘important lessons have been learnt’ and will (yet again) ‘ensure this never happens again’.
Meanwhile our beloved NHS (which is the envy or the world) rushes ahead with hiring ever more DIE (Diversity, Inclusion and Equality) managers. Waiting lists are shooting up towards eight million, health services are collapsing and thousands live in pain or die early or unnecessarily due to a lack of care. Yet our NHS bosses seem convinced that the only way to save our NHS is by hiring more utterly pointless, sociology-degreed DIE parasites presumably because NHS bosses believe ever more of these DIE managers will hugely improve the service offered by the NHS.
Let’s just take a moment to look at a few of the latest DIE vacancy ads:
Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
People Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer: £28,407-£34,581 a year: Do you have a passion for equity and inclusion? Are you an excellent administrator with the skills to effectively manage a varied workload where workflows can change rapidly? Do you enjoy having a wide variety of tasks when you’re at work? If yes, this may be the role you are looking for. This is an exciting opportunity to join the Culture and Engagement team here at Sherwood Forest Hospitals and support making a difference for colleagues in the Trust
The successful candidate will support the delivery of the EDI work programme across Sherwood Forest Hospitals. The post holder will assist our staff networks in creating, developing, and executing action plans to effect positive change within the Trust.
I’m sorry to ask some stupid questions, but why does some hospital most of us have never heard of need a Culture and Engagement team including a People Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer? How many pointless bureaucrats are in this Culture and Engagement team? How much does this Culture and Engagement team cost us? What does a Culture and Engagement team have to do with patient care?
Kettering NHS Hospital Foundation Trust
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer: £28,407-£34,581 a year: We have an exciting opportunity to join the HR team at Northampton General Hospital as Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Engagement Officer, initially as a fixed-term contract to the end of March 2023. You will work with the new Group Head of OD and Inclusion and build on the positive foundations of work across the organisation.
Key part of the role will be to work closely with our four staff networks, being the primary point of contact and support for network Co-Chairs, and supporting the delivery of EDI initiatives across the organisation.
Operate as Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Engagement Officer within The Trust to provide advice and support to the wider organisation in terms of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
To play a key role in the delivering of the Group EDI strategy at KGH
To be part of the Group and support them to deliver on strategic HR Projects and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion programmes.
To support the Senior Diversity and Inclusion Specialist with all communication for any Internal KGH EDI requirements and the Diversity Calendar
I apologise again for asking some stupid questions. But why does a hospital like Northampton need a Group Head of OD and Inclusion and a Senior Diversity and Inclusion Specialist and an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer? What on earth do these three people and their staff do all day? What do they contribute to patient care? Just how many people at Northampton hospital waste our money on fatuous DIE nonsense? Is there nobody at Northampton hospital who realises what a farce this pointless and expensive DIE industry is?
University College London Hospitals Trust (UCLH)
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Manager: £51,488-£57,802 a year: UCLH has a strong commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) with multiple projects and initiatives being implemented to help us on our journey of building equity, diversity, and inclusion into everything we do.
This is an exciting role supporting UCLH’s new Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Lead, on a range of high quality strategic and operational projects to ensure we are delivering sustainable and tangible diversity and inclusion related solution in our workforce policies and practices that lead to increased patient outcomes. Additionally, the post holder will support UCLH’s Staff Networks – BAME, LGBTQ+, Disability, Mental Health, and Women.
