The Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF) is a national scheme aimed at ensuring Trusts take action to reduce racial inequality within services.
It is about becoming an actively anti-racist organisation and ensuring that we co-produce and implement concrete actions to improve access, experience and outcomes for people from ethnic minority communities.
Latest Update
In February 2026, approximately 40 people joined a workshop held to talk about the Trust’s approach to the Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF).
The event, at Churchdown Community Centre, was an opportunity for Trust colleagues, service users, carers, Experts by Experience and community representatives to talk about this important work.
Next Steps
Another event is planned for 1 April. This will be at the Friendship Cafe, in Gloucester, from 10am to 3pm. The focus will be on co-producing an ‘Anti Racist Statement’ and looking at our vision for the Trust’s PCREF commitments for the future.
