Warrington and Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust works to ensure we provide equality of access to all of our patients and members of the public.
We are committed to furthering equality, diversity and human rights and reducing inequalities in health. In this section you can read more about how we do this and the documents and reports that are available to you that we use to monitor our work in this area.
The Human Rights Act 1998 provides service users with a vehicle through which they can ensure that their human rights are fully taken into account when decisions regarding access to treatment and services are taken. The Act also covers the right to life or quality of life by providing a mechanism for demanding life saving treatment and for non-life saving treatment where denial would have a severe impact upon the quality of that individuals life.
A good way to understand human rights is to see them as a vehicle for making principles such as dignity, equality, respect, fairness and autonomy central to our lived experience as human beings. These core principles are brought to life by a range of different human rights that make them real. The trust and other public bodies are obliged to respect human rights and in the service which we provide to you, can give these principles real meaning.
Dignity - Right not to be tortured or treated in an inhuman or degrading way
If you have any questions regarding your treatment as a patient please contact the Patient Relations Manager on 01925 635911

The NHS Workforce Disability Equality Standard (WDES) is designed to improve workplace experience and career opportunities for Disabled people working, or seeking employment, in the National Health Service (NHS). The WDES follows the NHS Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) as a tool and an enabler of change.
The WDES is a series of evidence-based Metrics that will provide NHS organisations with a snapshot of the experiences of their Disabled staff in key areas. By providing comparative data between Disabled and non-disabled staff, this information can be used to understand where key differences lie; and will provide the basis for the development of action plans, enabling organisations to track progress on a year by year basis. The WDES provides a mirror for the organisation to hold up to itself, to see whether or not it sees a reflection of the communities that it serves.
Organisations will be encouraged to introduce new measures and practices which positively support disability equality in the workplace and further the involvement and engagement of Disabled communities more widely in the work and aims of the NHS. As the fifth biggest employer in the world and employing 1.2 million people, the NHS is in a pivotal position to lead the way in the employment of Disabled people. This is especially relevant for the NHS, as the provider of universal healthcare services and where 70% of people using NHS services have long-term conditions. We draw upon a rich diversity of people to provide care for our patients Recognising the values of equality and diversity is central to achieving cultural change, in which all staff are respected and valued for their contributions and receive fair treatment in the workplace.
