Description

The Unified Information Standard for Protected Characteristics (UISPC), commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), is a comprehensive initiative designed to modernise and harmonise equality monitoring across the NHS in England. The programme provides a detailed review of workforce, employment, and patient datasets, as well as associated national surveys, and provides robust recommendations for updating equality monitoring arrangements by reference to protected characteristics across the NHS in England. It is designed to comply with a complex range of intersecting legal obligations, including those provided by the Equality Act 2010 and intersecting provisions in the NHS Act 2006, data protection laws, other regulatory provisions and national standards. It also advises on how to bring current NHS data collections into legal compliance following the For Women Scotland Supreme Court judgment.
