Are you ready to challenge your understanding of racial discrimination in the healthcare sector? In an unflinching and insightful discussion, our special guests, Michelle Mello from NHS England and Dr Abbie Ford Barnes, our Head of School of Nursing, take us on a deep exploration of the essential document "Combating Racial Discrimination for Nurses, Midwives, and Nursing Associates". This potent tool, a product of partnership between NHS Confederation and the Nursing and Midwifery Council, has the potential to influence professional practice and provoke much-needed conversations - but only if we engage with it and put it into action.

As we unravel this complex issue, we confront the harsh reality of racism in the NHS. We dissect the role of this pivotal resource in validating the experiences of those enduring discrimination and its implications in higher education. The conversation gets real and raw as we advocate for the empowerment of students to voice their concerns. Far from being just talk, we examine how to turn words into actions, focusing on allyship and the responsibility we all carry to challenge racism - and the absolute necessity for systems that support those affected by it.

We believe in a future where every healthcare professional feels valued and has a sense of belonging. A future where the "Combating Racial Discrimination for Nurses, Midwives, and Nursing Associates" document helps create safer and more inclusive environments. Where confronting and combating racism in nursing becomes a collective responsibility, empowering change. Join us as we equip healthcare professionals to stand against racism and inequality, explore the role of allyship, and use this resource as a tool for transformation. This enlightening conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding and combating racial discrimination in the healthcare sector.
