Partha Kar: Antiracism starts with an apology
Partha Kar , consultant in diabetes and endocrinology Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust drparthakar{at}gmail.comFollow Partha on Twitter: @parthaskarThe stream of depressing, hurtful stories about treatment of NHS employees has been relentless. Have a look at the most recent Workforce Race Equality Standard data,6 for instance. Among nurses and midwives, the largest part of the workforce, black staff have a striking disadvantage: these workers experience the least equality of opportunity and the most discrimination. Before any healing starts, the leaders of education, workforce, and health systems need to have the humility to be open and honest. Partha Kar is national specialty adviser, diabetes, and lead of the Medical Workforce Race Equality Standard.
