Not an optional extra: The price of not tackling race discrimination in the NHS

This report has been commissioned by the Seacole Group against a backdrop of hostile rhetoric and action from Governments abroad, public hostility in the UK around immigration and at a time of significant upheaval and financial pressure in the NHS.

As NHS leadership capacity is increasingly absorbed by these ever-present challenges, it is vital that the discussion and action to reduce health inequity through the best treatment of our NHS Black, Asian and ethnic staff remains the highest of priorities.

This report looks at:

• the opportunities arising from tackling race discrimination: some examples

• the risks and damage caused by race discrimination
