Surgeons commit to driving equality in the profession

The British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) has issued a commitment to ensure equality in the association’s future work.

In a statement, the BAUS said it understands that equality, diversity and inclusion are very important and pointed out that BAUS members “come from every walk of life and, therefore, to represent them effectively, so should we”.

“The association recognises that inclusion is about the choices we make, the words we use and the actions that we take every day. It is essential that our members are respectful and open to ideas, perspectives and outlooks different from their own,” the statement read.

The association cautioned that it expects all members to uphold this ethos in their interactions with patients and colleagues alike.

“BAUS is well aware of the true benefits that equality, diversity and inclusion can bring. We recognise its positive effect on innovation, quality of care and the well-being of the workforce.  As such, the association will ensure equality is at the core of future work that is carried out, and we look forward to the positive impact it will have in education, research and clinical excellence,” the statement said.
