Introduction to Equality, Diversity and Human Rights – New Learning Module

NHS Education for Scotland (NES) has launched a new essential learning module: Introduction to Equality, Diversity and Human Rights, developed with the input and expertise of our partners. This module replaces the existing essential learning module on Turas and will be of particular interest to healthcare professionals looking for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in equality, diversity, and human rights. 

Learners will be introduced to: 

• equality and human rights responsibilities, 
• discrimination, harassment, and inappropriate behaviour in the workplace, 
• the meaning of key words and why language is important and, 
• actions they can take. 

Knowledge checks throughout the module help guide learning and a final quiz will test learning.  

The module will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. You can access the module on the Equality and Diversity Zone under Introduction to equality, diversity and human rights. 

You must be logged in to your TURAS Learn account to view and access the eLearning module on this page: Sign in to TURAS Learn.  If you do not have a TURAS Learn account, you can sign up for one.
