Survey Finds Rising Racism Against Non-White NHS Staff Amid Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric
A survey by the Society of Radiographers found that racism against non-white staff in the UK's National Health Service has increased over the past 18 months, with abuses including racial slurs and patients refusing treatment from non-white medics. The NHS workforce is diverse, with Indians comprising the largest group of internationally trained staff. The SoR condemned discrimination and plans to hold NHS trusts accountable for addressing these incidents amid rising anti-immigrant rhetoric.
