Racism in the NHS and other organisations is still an ongoing issue that has been highlighted by the recent black lives matter movement as well as the COVID19 pandemic. It is also great that more and more people are coming out and being vocal about it and calling for change which in my opinion is way overdue. I am also encouraged by the younger generation who are coming up the ranks and calling out incidences of racism and inappropriate behaviour. While all this is good and looks like we are heading in the right direction with regards to stamping out racism within and without the NHS, we must not lose sight of the fact that there are colleagues who are living this sad reality at this moment any given day up and down the country with serious consequences for their lives, livelihoods, health and family life and it can be a very lonely and frustrating place to be in.
