Government to tackle antisemitism and other racism in the NHS
The government released a press statement on 16 October outlining urgent action to tackle antisemitism and other forms of racism in the NHS. The Prime Minister has ordered an urgent review of antisemitism and all forms of racism in the NHS, as part of wider efforts to tackle discrimination in the health service.
Following recent incidents which drew stark attention to problems of culture and the regulation in the health system, Lord John Mann will lead the review, looking at how to protect patients and staff from racism and hold perpetrators to account.
At the same time, the government announced the immediate rollout of strengthened mandatory antisemitism and antiracism training across the health service, and NHS England will review its uniform guidance so patients and staff always feel respected in NHS settings.
