Racism, harassment and discrimination takes a terrible toll on ethnic minority NHS staff

Lecturer in Society and Mental Health, King's College London

Disclosure statement

Rebecca Rhead receives funding from the Economic and Social Research Council and the Wellcome Trust. She has also previously received funding from the Medical Research Council.

King's College London provides funding as a member of The Conversation UK.

View all partners

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a time filled with uncertainty and fear, ethnically minoritised NHS staff have not only had to contend with the virus but also a workplace fraught with inequalities.

Recent reports highlight concerning – and ongoing – issues for these NHS staff. For example, ethnically minoritised nurses face significant obstacles in securing promotions or new positions , and ethnically minoritised ambulance staff are twice as likely to suffer discrimination . These revelations confirm the persistent racial inequalities within the NHS, underscoring the urgent need for systemic change.

Such challenges harm not only their health and wellbeing but also the quality of care they provide at work. Moreover, these challenges have implications for their career progression and intentions to remain in the NHS – underfunded and overstretched as it is. Ultimately, the health of the NHS workforce has a big impact on the health of the nation.

As part of a team of researchers, I conducted a survey during the pandemic to identify inequalities in workplace experiences and to assess the health and wellbeing of staff. Participants included 4,622 NHS staff from across 18 NHS Trusts in England, between February and October 2021.

Our survey was developed with the Tackling Inequalities and Discrimination Experiences in Health Services (Tides) project , a national stakeholder group, as well as NHS peer researchers. It was part of the broader NHS Check study , which aimed to assess NHS staff wellbeing during the pandemic.

Consistently bleak picture

We found that staff from black, mixed and other ethnically minoritised groups were more likely to face difficulties accessing personal protective equipment (PPE) than their white British colleagues, and also more likely to experience harassment and discrimination from fellow staff members during the pandemic.

These findings align with similar studies such as the UK-Reach study of ethnicity and COVID-19 outcomes in healthcare workers, and the NHS’s own staff survey . All paint a consistently bleak picture of the challenges faced by ethnically minoritised groups within the NHS.

This situation was compounded by a consistent increase in harassment and discrimination that was identified in the years preceding the pandemic.

It echoes findings from my past research, conducted in London Trusts . This study found that ethnic minority staff were more likely to experience and witness bullying and discrimination. Such experiences were associated with poor health outcomes, low job satisfaction, and increased sick leave.

The toll on NHS staff health from negative workplace experiences is significant. Our latest findings indicate a link between adverse working conditions and poorer levels of physical and mental health. The unavailability of PPE was associated with an approximately twofold increase in depression and anxiety. Harassment and discrimination were associated with a threefold increase.

Overall, 23% of our survey participants reported symptoms suggesting probable depression, while 18% appeared to have probable anxiety. And 23% experienced medium-to-severe somatic symptoms – chronic physical symptoms that coincide with emotional problems.

How to address these issues

Our study also identified that awareness of employment rights is essential to the mental health of ethnic minority staff. For example, the survey showed an association between involvement in redeployment decisions and better mental health outcomes. One recommendation is that all NHS staff should be educated on their employment rights and provided with knowledge of, and access to, available support systems.

This would ensure they are able to advocate for themselves and their colleagues. It would offer more opportunities to engage in discussions, provide feedback, and question decisions concerning their working conditions without fear of negative consequences.

Our team’s previous research found that ethnically minoritised NHS staff often feel disempowered and fear the repercussions of speaking out against their working conditions. These concerns can be grave enough that affected staff transfer to different teams or quit the NHS altogether to escape these organisational inequities.

Innovative approaches to training, such as those developed through our Tides project, highlight a forward path. We have pioneered the use of virtual reality (VR) training scenarios to simulate the experiences of ethnically minoritised staff. This approach is designed to promote empathy and deeper understanding of their challenges and perspectives.

By immersing NHS managers and senior leaders in these realistic scenarios, VR training can offer a powerful means to combat racism and discrimination.

Initial piloting of this approach indicates that it can alleviate the emotional burden on ethnic minority staff by removing the need for them to recount traumatic experiences. It also paves the way for meaningful, experiential learning.

Public health imperative

Our research underscores the importance of addressing racism and racial discrimination in the NHS not merely as a matter of ethics, but as a public health imperative.

Now is the time for structural change that addresses the systemic roots of racism within the NHS. We need clear rules that hold all levels of management accountable. Leadership within NHS trusts also needs to start taking responsibility for actively combating racism. This should involve more detailed annual reports, specific targets for improvement, and the sharing of data, strategies and outcomes with regulatory bodies such as the Care Quality Commission to ensure transparency.

We also need clear and open ways for staff to report racism without fear of backlash. Providing training for all NHS staff on how to recognise, challenge and report racism and harassment is essential. Anti-racism resources, such as those developed by the NHS’s chief nursing and chief midwifery officers, can support staff and drive meaningful change.

Reflecting on the lessons learned from the pandemic, the path to recovery for the NHS lies in embracing practices that ensure equity for all its staff. This is not just about rectifying past oversights but about building a stronger, more inclusive health service that values and protects its workforce, regardless of their ethnic background.

The possibility of using furfurol for the production of ash-free high-strength active carbons with spheroidal particles as adsorbents and catalyst supports is substantiated. A single-stage process that incorporates the resinification of furfurol, the molding of a spherical product, and its hardening while allowing the process cycle time and the cost of equipment to be reduced is developed. Derivatographic, X-ray diffraction, mercury porometric, and adsorption studies of the carbonization of the molded spherical product are performed to characterize the development of the primary and porous structures of carbon residues. Ash-free active carbons with spheroidal particles, a full volume of sorbing micro- and mesopores (up to 1.50 cm 3 /g), and a uniquely high mechanical strength (its abrasion rate is three orders of magnitude lower than that of industrial active carbons) are obtained via the vapor-gas activation of a carbonized product. The obtained active carbons are superior to all known foreign and domestic analogues and are promising for the production of catalysts that operate under severe regimes, i.e., in moving and fluidized beds.

RESEARCH PROJECT SUMMARY:

"Radiation safety of workers is a critical issue globally, although many workers lack the personal radiation monitoring recommended by IAEA and other organizations. The main reasons are that the common technological solutions used today, such as thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) or optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) badges, require a level of infrastructure and logistics that is not readily available everywhere. Together with collaborators in Kenya (engineers, physicists, and radiologists) who we recently hosted at Stanford for a 2-week workshop, we are developing a prototype of a personal dosimeter that is battery-powered, locally calibratable, and gives real-time feedback to the user of their immediate radiation environment. The design is open source and will be shared publicly once finalized, allowing for distributed manufacturing and local ownership. While we are finalizing the device during the Spring, we plan to do pilot testing and engaging with local partners in Nairobi during the summer.   This summer project involves doing pilot testing in Nairobi of our dosimeter prototypes, engaging with community partners, and assisting in the open-source documentation of the project. The latter is critical to ensure reproducibility and real-world impact. We plan to finalize a collaborative research paper on the dosimeter device and release the design at the end of the summer."

10 Cheaper Alternatives To The 2024 Harley-Davidson Road King

T he Harley-Davidson Road King is a legendary motorcycle, known for its iconic style, powerful engine, and touring capabilities. It is powered by a Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, producing 95 horsepower and 122 pound-feet of torque. The bold and muscular appearance of this machine is accompanied by standard hard saddlebags for touring convenience. Although the design language follows a traditional approach, Harley has equipped the Road King with a few modern tidbits (such as cruise control) to save the rider from fatigue during long journeys.

But, legendary status often comes with a legendary price tag. And in this case, it is a sizable $24,999. So it's safe to say this isn't a heavyweight suited for everyone.

You'll be happy to know there are brilliant alternatives to the H-D that offer superb performance and comfort at a more affordable price. We'll explore some of the best options for riders who want the Harley experience without the Harley price tag. Let's jump in.

The hidden link-type rear suspension mimics the look of classic hardtail Harleys while offering seven-way preload adjustability for exceptional handling characteristics.
