London: "Dirty foreigners" and "monkey" are among the abuses hurled at non-white medical staff in the UK's National Health Service (NHS) due to worsening racism, a new survey has found.
The Society of Radiographers (SoR) surveyed its members about their experiences of racism at work and were told that such incidents increased noticeably over the last 18 months amid a rise in anti-immigrant rhetoric. The professional body revealed that NHS workers have also had to deal with some patients refusing to be treated by non-white medics.
