NES Cultural Humility Learning Resource

The NES Equality, Diversity and Human Right Team developed this digital learning resource to consider how our backgrounds and the backgrounds of others can impact our relationships. Subsequently launched by @NHSScotAcademy, it provides leaners with tools to develop their cultural humility values, attitudes and behaviours. What’s more, learners will benefit from the range of videos, reflective activities, scenarios and a resource pack.

Specifically, the NES Cultural Humility Learning Resource will enable learners to:

  • Understand the concepts that underpin cultural humility
  • Identify the key behaviours for supporting an inclusive workplace
  • Apply a reflective approach aimed at transforming practice in health and social care

Both health and social care staff can easily access the  Cultural Humility online training programme,  from any laptop, computer or smart device through their TURAS account.
