• Gender reassignment and/or transgender guidance and policies relating to staff

We do not have a specific policy which address this, as this would be managed through the Trust’s EDI Policy (see attached documentation which, although marked for review in February 2024, remains in force whilst an update is in preparation).

• Gender reassignment and/or transgender guidance and policies relating to patients including policies on mixed sex /same sex accommodation

We do not have a specific policy that addresses this, the Trust does not have an inpatient service.  We do however have gender neutral facilities on most floors to accommodate reasonable adjustments related to gender identity.

• Related Equality Impact Assessments if separate

The Trust does not hold separate Equality Impact Assessments.
