Racial Discrimination in Primary Care & the NHS - Part 1

THIS EPISODE makes the case that Racial Discrimination is an extremely common problem in Primary Care and the NHS and can take many forms.  It is a SPECIAL EPISODE in which our host Munir Adam is joined by a number of leaders that have dedicated their time, expertise and their heart towards addressing this extremely important problem.   

This is part 1 of a two part discussion on the important issue of racial discrimination and racism.  It covers:

• The scale of the problem of racial discrimination and harassment
• Common pitfalls, even by those who perhaps mean well
• The journey taken by a dedicated team in London to create the first ever Primary Care Workforce Report about this
• The impact that discrimination has had on those who have suffered
• Actual quotes from sufferers
