Racism in the NHS - Documentary
DISCLAIMER: This video was self-funded by us; we are not receiving any funding from any public bodies, the NHS, or universities. We also do not claim to be experts on the subject of racism and we do understand that it is a more complex issue than what is mentioned in the video.
We are Alysha Harun and Hashvi Shah, two final year medical students, and soon to be doctors, from Keele University.
We are both from minority backgrounds and have seen racism play out during our years at university.
We created this documentary as part of our final year elective project to raise awareness about the growing issue of racism in the NHS and its impact on students, staff and patient care. We have showcased the different types of racism that play out in the NHS and highlighted the experiences of racism faced by ethnic minority doctors and medical students from across the UK. Furthermore, we have also explored some solutions in tackling this problem.
We hope that by sharing this documentary we can raise awareness on this issue and spark conversation within the medical community to help make a change.

THIS ARE PRETTY BENIGN RACISMS. THE WORST ARE THE SUBTLE ONES LIKE COMPLAINTS ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO DEFEND. DR OMER KARIM CASE IS A LANDMARK WHEN GMC UK IS FOUND GUILTY OF RACISM
I would love to know what is so special for being British and white

Over 20% of NHS workers are non-UK nationals. If they left, the whole system (which is already saturated) would completely collapse. Racists should be careful what they ask for, maybe they bite more than they can actually chew
White Shirley Martinez Gary Hernandez George
Then they say "UK is not racist"
As a black nurse Sometimes when cauacasian patients meet you for the first time I think the word DUMB is written on your forehead and think they can talk to you like a doormat !!! The NHS has done nothing to resolve this ongoing problem they don’t care about their staff !!!!!
Racism is the daily pattern of the NHS. I recall when I worked as a porter/messanger in central london, that a doctor from the caribbean, I overheard the white dept head discussing the doctor and saying he will never talk to that monkey, he does not want him on the ward when he is there but he will only see patients , he will not have any contact with other doctors. in the department, it was that blatant.
Really sorry to hear this
Patriots are so proud of this. Christianity love it’s called
*Detailed summary of the video:* The video discusses the pervasive issue of racism within the UK's National Health Service (NHS) and the experiences of medical students and healthcare professionals from ethnic minority backgrounds. Here’s a detailed summary of the key points raised: 1. Experiences of Racism: The speaker recounts personal experiences of racism in the healthcare system, highlighting instances where their race influenced the way they were treated compared to their white counterparts. They emphasize that despite performing the same duties, they faced discrimination based on their skin color. 2. Impact on Patient Care: The speaker shares a story about their mother, who is a nurse, and how her black son faced neglect when seeking medical care for a serious condition (sickle cell anemia). This illustrates how racial biases can lead to life-threatening situations. 3. Microaggressions: Everyday incidents are described as "microaggressions," which, while seemingly minor, accumulate over time and contribute to feelings of inadequacy and frustration. The speaker mentions assumptions people make about their ethnicity and background. 4. Need for Diversity in Medical Education: The speaker argues for the inclusion of diverse perspectives in medical education and emphasizes that medical training should reflect the experiences of all communities. This includes revising curricula to be more inclusive and representative of different cultures and backgrounds. 5. Institutional Racism: There is a critical discussion on institutional racism within healthcare organizations, including leadership that lacks diversity. The speaker points out that decisions made at higher levels often perpetuate discriminatory practices. 6. Advocacy and Action: The video highlights efforts to promote anti-racism through initiatives like decolonizing the curriculum and creating safe spaces for students to voice their concerns about discrimination. It also stresses the importance of empowering staff and students to speak out against racism. 7. Community Engagement: The importance of engaging with communities to understand their cultural and racial dynamics is emphasized as a way to improve patient care and address health disparities. 8. Support Structures: The speaker advocates for creating support structures within institutions where individuals can report incidents of racism without fear of repercussions. This includes training on being allies and bystanders in the face of discrimination. 9. Encouragement for Victims of Racism: Those who have experienced racism are encouraged to speak out, validate their experiences, and seek support from organizations that can help them navigate these challenges. Overall, the video presents a passionate call for change within the healthcare system, emphasizing the need for acknowledgment of racism, active efforts towards inclusivity, and systemic reforms to ensure equitable treatment for all patients and healthcare workers.
Its just as bad in other lines off work.....
Racist country
The riots have exposed how racist these people are .the world is shocked..
Its a shocking statistic to hear black women are 5 times more likely to die in childbirth. Any explanation for this?
@@joebrewer4529 you probably say the same about people coming to the UK on boats, made up.
Even the people of color are racist towards each other. It is not only the white people who are the problem. Asians can be racist towards middle eastern peoples and Middle easterners can be racist towards black people...
I gave up volunteering at queen Elizabeth hospital Woolwich because of constant abuse. I worked for Saintsburys and ASDA and there was a lot of bullying and racist abuse so I quit UK in 2014. At Bromley college a teacher referred to us black students as SLAVES there were white students who would abuse us and the teachers would laugh at us. Even the white teachers would insult us and laugh with there colleagues
Racism persists across all industries in the UK, affecting countless lives daily. Despite numerous efforts to combat it, discrimination remains deeply ingrained, impacting career opportunities, workplace culture, and overall fairness. 😢 It’s a sad reality.
There's lots of anti white racism too but hey ho
Nice to see humanity in these comments
NHS is full bullers unfortunately. 😢 this time they are bulling WHITE FOREIGNERS - western nations ... the born here Indians are very snappy, bitchy talking, put the white foreigners into trouble, do not have any respect to them, laughing on the their English level. My manager (her ancestors are from India) she was saying to me "why you need so many days off? Other people are taking the holidays or days off because they have families, they have children!" 😮 seriously this is talking BAND 6 ?😢😢😢 BESIDES THAT she is doing everything and talked with Education and Training Team not accepting me to apply for apprenticeship😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢 She always mess up with my holidays or days off , never put them into calendar or Rota
Equality of opportunity is important, but it is a mistake to equalise even outcomes. That's why the DEI is hated everywhere these days.
As a traveller working 13 years in nhs I was called " a pikey B " " a thief " amongst many other false accusations. I am still fighting against the racist workplace I resigned from, and hope to end all racism against traveller people
The majority of British patients are white. Some are elderly with poor hearing. The standard of the English Language is often very poor amongst hospital staff. This leads to a lot of misunderstanding on both sides. There is far too much talk of racial differences and not enough discussions on the things that unite us. Immigrants workers often forget that you have to adapt and blend in with a Countries Culture and not expect to constantly adapt to their personal preferences. Are all African hospitals expected to be expert in all medical conditions that white people are inclined towards? I think not.
The English and their backward royal family will continue to be haunted and suffer the consequences for the sins of their fathers for their horrific acts during their colonial days. Regardless of their racism, they will soon be a minority in their own little, cold, barren island. It will be taken over by the people that they hate today. 👊🏾
First of all, most people's farthers didn't do anything. The notion that everyone's father was out colonising is BS. Maybe africans should take some responsibility for their farthers' sins of selling slaves. Secondly, I seriously doubt that they will all be Rwanda within a couple of generations living with the tutsis and hutus, including British born. Maybe then, they can cry to them about systemic hutu supremacy 😂😂😂😂😂😂 👊 ✊️
So far ive seen over 400+ posts and comments by black zfticans saying they did the majority of their relatives qualification work.
Let's admit it that racism can be the otherway round as well. Foreigners speaking other language than English in front of their English peers.
One patient asked my where I was from immediately after greetings. And then the next question: we voted Brexit, will you go back to your country? Here comes my answer: No, because there are no English people wanting to do my job. If I leave, then no one will care for you while poorly in hospital. I chose that answer because most people believe that EU nationals are stealing their jobs, but how can you do this if there are over 100K vacancies in the NHS at any given moment?
I personally was left in a wheelchair in Barnet hospital after hours of having a lumbar spine surgery and couldn't physically walk. This person was East Asian, and I have never had an issue with the NHS until that time I was really traumatized until this moment. My treatment is still ongoing but I'm scared to continue treatment. It was a terrible experience
This is not an attack on any races of people, after that experience I really don't know what to think 🤔🤔🤔
LOT'S OF PEOPLES BLACK'S MOSTLY HAD THATS CICLESEL EVEN AS EARLY IN THE SIXTIES THE HOSPITALS DID NOT HAVE A CLUE AT FIRST LOTS OF CHILDRENS MOSTLY BLACK'S FOR ME I AM THANKFUL TO THE DOCTOR'S WHICH SAVED ME AND ALL MY THREE DAUGHTERS WITH CIZEREANS AND THAT WAS NO DOGS NO IRISH NO BLACK'S AND MADE SURE THAT ALL MY CHILDREN'S GET GOOD GRADES AT SCHOOLS SO HAVEN'T NOTHINGS BAD TO SAY ABOUTS DOCTOR'S THE ONE'S WHO SAVED ME WE'RE ALL WHITES AND EVEN NOW AFTER 65YEARS IN BRITAIN NEVER BEEN INSULTED BECAUSE OF MY BLACK SKIN
I find it shocking that some patients refuse to be looked after ethnic minority NHS staff. Surely, the staff should take it to their seniors and make a complaint. Keep records of those incidents and how it was dealt with my your management and take it all to tribunal! This is absolutely disgusting and shouldn't be allowed! Everyone involved or witnessed should be held accountable!
I suffered that when i was pregnant. I generally ignore small pains and discomft and dnt go to a gp. But when i was with child and had a c section, each appointment i was made feel that because of my ethnicity i am more prone to diseases and we are not the healthiest of genetics etc. in one appointment one student nurse asked me if i am eligible to have a treatment in this country when i have lived her for more then 10 years and my apaper workclearly stated my nationality status. These small things, even after contributing for a decade, i want to go back and raise my child in a country she will not be discriminated.
Thank you for this documentary it was very highlighting. I am about to join the NHS very soon and I am hoping that I don't have to face anything like the experience this documentary as highlighted. Yes I have faced racism in my life but it's nothing light what was mentioned in the documentary. I hope that the racist policies have been put in place and that professionals bodies and the public of a ethnic minority group don't have to face such behaviour from their own white counterparts or the public. Why can't they be announcements made to the professional bodies and the public on the type of behaviour that is expected of everyone who occupy or use these services and also reinforce the consequences of their actions if they fail to comply to these policies.
White people are now the minority in the capital of Britain and you still try and push the narrative that non-Whites are the victims.
I am on my final year as a student nurse on placement . I am thinking of quitting the course. My mental health has suffered during these years I guess there is still bias towards male nurses or maybe just when you are male East Asian student nurse. They think just because you're being a nice Eastern Asian student you are stupid. People treat you differently and less than students from other nationalities.
This is excellent, as a patient from an ethnic minority that doesn't feel safe having NHS treatment, I thank you for this documentary.
I worked in Luton Airport in baggage and the Pakistanis would spit on my back and rub human shit on my locker, the black lads kissed their teeth at me when I passed. I had a Pakistani manager who wouldnt tollerate indians in any sense. Ive been attacked by welsh lads for being English. Racism is everywhere, it's best not to moan about it on TH-cam but to seek to guide us to a place of colour blindness.
This is a parody right?
There would be less racism, if said race behaved in a more Civilized matter. More crime abiding.
You're just fueling racism.
people claim racism over the dumbest stuff these days that data is so bloated
The NHS will do everything to cover up racism, they know racism is in the bricks and mortar but it is so deep it is impossible to deal with it. They fear the word racism they shudder at the thought of having to deal with it none of them have the courage to tackle racism. I would like to see a Black movement started so we can deal with racism ourselves, I am tired of high level white management creating weak tick box solutions that have no impact whatsoever. They are clueless, they have no integrity, no courage, the bottom line is they are false and they insult the intelligence of people of all cultures, they are a disgrace they are desperately clinging on to the last of the British Empire they can not let it go, the reality is the NHS is the British Empire.
So sad. being Asian in Britain is hard... I built my life here in the last 20 years from studying in university to my daily life I encounter racism all the time even going to restaurant and to my gp appointment
Boring , flogging a dead horse.
When the hell will you BAEM people, ever get to REALISE and ACCEPT that the NATIVE and INDIGENOUS people of ALBION are 100% WHITE??? When one of us NATIVE and INDIGENOUS people refers to your skin colour in a non derogatory way, or asks you about your background, we are NOT being racist FFS. Another thing, and just for the record = a piece of paper (like a passport), cannot confer BRITISHNESS upon you. You will never be BRITISH. If I as a White man, was born in China, would that make me Chinese? Anyone who thinks that it would, is seriously deluded. My Ancestors have been in this land of Britain for thousands of years. 99.9% of you BAEM people, have been here for less than 75 years = FACT! Yes, some horrible White people should not use derogatory terminology when they refer to you, or speak to you. That would be RACISM. You are beautiful people who have your ROOTS elsewhere in the world. But don't call me a racist, when I want to ask you questions and try to learn more from you, about your roots.
Mistakes are cleverly transferred to others to save their own skin.
TELL BRITS OVERSEAS TO F OFF HOME
Cool, just knock all the countries they built down first and return them to what they were..... NOTHING
Racism 1:05 - 4:57 Macpherson Report - Five times more - Racism 7:03 British Medical Journal
7:32 every culture has its own medical knowledge. This is what will happen when you are non white and subject to the white mans medical knowledge which doesnt incorporate the neccasary medical knowledge to support the health of other cultures.
Privatise the nhs and lets have performance related accountibility
Asian patients get it worse than asian doctors, who will it be to give an account of the wickedness they experience at the hands of casually racist nhs staff.
