Aims and scope

Diversity and Equality in Health and Care (formerly Diversity in Health and Care) is concerned with the equitable provision of healthcare and services for members of diverse social groups and settings in all countries in the world. Diversity is seen as a very broad concept, embracing areas including (but not limited to) race, culture and ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, migrants, carers, disabilities (including physical, communication and learning), spirituality, and underserved or marginalised populations. Diversity also extends to the wide variety of settings in which care takes place and the multidisciplinary nature of professional practice.

The editors welcome:

• research papers that address any aspect of diversity, including evaluative studies and methodological debates

• practice papers that provide examples of culturally competent practice, or which address the practicalities, policy or managerial aspects of delivering services to members of diverse groups

• debate papers that address key issues in diversity or which focus on under-researched topics

• knowledge-sharing reports that may include book, website, video and other resource reviews and papers about specific initiatives to improve practice
