Sherwood Forest Hospitals will launch a new anti-racism strategy as survey results show an increase in racist abuse against NHS staff.
The Trust’s NHS Staff Survey results from 2020 show an almost 2% increase in ethnic minority colleagues experiencing harassment, bullying or abuse from patients, relatives or members of the public from 2019 to 2020.
Ethnic minority colleagues experiencing discrimination from other colleagues increased in the same period, whereas for white colleagues their experience remains stable.
