Culture Reset

Anti racism as the antidote to a hidden pandemic

Juliette

Evidence shows that where structural racism exists, there is a ripple effect of harm that spreads across social groups, patients, staff, communities, populations and organisations.

In the words of our Culture Reset guest Taira Shaffi, tackling racism should be managed in the same way we manage any clinical incident, zero event or harm in healthcare – with the same rigour, attention and momentum.

Taira is Associate Director of Organisational Design and Development for NHS Cheshire and Merseyside; she was in conversation with hosts Caroline Kenyon and Juliette Kumar.
