Discrimination and NHS staff: stepping bravely into the grey

Discrimination and NHS staff: stepping bravely into the grey Sadly, but perhaps unsurprisingly, as our recent report for NHS England discusses, a significant number of NHS staff still experience discrimination as a result of being gay, or Muslim, or disabled, or black African.

Our report is based on data in the 2014 NHS Staff Survey. Data is, of course, important, in highlighting the issues but only tells part of the story. For me, what is missing is the conversation, the human part of the story: the real-life experience of the hospital porter, the nurse, the doctor, the patient or carer who is experiencing discrimination.
