- Meet the challenges of delivering the NHS Long Term Plan across LLR to Meet our legal duties – in terms of equality, reducing health inequalities, and human rights
Who are the IDMF workshops for?
The IDMF series of workshops are aimed at staff who are:
- Working across the LLR design groups
- Involved in decision making across LLR – which may affect patients and/or staff across LLR to Meet our legal duties – in terms of equality, reducing health inequalities, and human rights

Implementation work
Implementation of the IDMF will commence in Spring 2021 with workshops and engagement activities taking place with key teams across the LLR system. It is envisaged that implementation will go hand in hand with support and resources – these will become available on this page soon.
The implementation of the framework presents a period of transition in terms of processes and systems. In time, all LLR system partners will be required to align systems, policies, and processes to the IDMF.
The IDMF is an innovative approach that should embed equality, address bias, and improve decision-making from the outset of proposals. Its success will require support from all LLR system-wide partners and staff involved in decision-making.
A number of design groups have already started to embed the IDMF and it has also been adopted by the LLR Covid-19 Vaccination Programme whose application of the framework has been hailed as exemplar practice by the Midlands Health Inequalities group.
