Landmark BMA report warns of mass exodus by medics and calls on health bosses to address discrimination
The NHS is in danger of a mass exodus of black, Asian and minority ethnic doctors due to “persistent” and “intolerable” levels of racism in the workplace, a landmark report warns.
The review by the British Medical Association, one of the most comprehensive of its kind into racism in the medical profession, paints an “alarming” picture of “institutional barriers” to career progression, “dangerously low levels” of reporting of racist incidents and a growing mental health burden on minority ethnic doctors.
