> From the 106 trusts which provided data, there were 8,235 such reports in 2024, a 17% increase on the 7,002 reports in 2023.
If you are abusive, verbally or otherwise, you should lose access to NHS services, and be forced to go private.
I hate to say it… But is anyone really surprised with the rise of Reform and so called “Patriots”.
We wouldn’t have an NHS with out a multicultural workforce.
My cousin is a nurse. A patient said he wanted to be dealt with a white nurse so she said fine and just did one. The patient was waiting for a further 30 mins before they were seen to by a British police nurse but guess what even that wasn’t white enough. The audacity of the senile rat
Should be escorted out and banned from future treatment, give them a card with a list of private clinics.
Nobody should be experiencing that period.
They can post on gofundme for donations.
Discrimination comes from all sides. I have seen and heard a student Nurse saying ‘gay people are sick in the head’, a group of Nigerian nurses saying their colleagues from Kerala (India) didn’t shower, or a white a lady singing the song “Ten little”(you know the rest) when she saw a black nurse. It’s everywhere, on all levels. Every single day. Unfortunately.
Just another of the insidious knock on effects of the right and Brexit, normalising peoples racism.
I was doing A&E rotation. A patient said he didn’t want a Muslim treating him (I wear a hijab). I informed the consultant – he stated fine he will have to wait. The nurse who was treating him explained as per his wishes the other doctor will see him once they finish with their other patients. He was waiting over three hours. When he complained they told him that the available doctor was someone he didn’t want to treat him so he will have to wait. I must admit I didn’t care how long he waited – he wasn’t an urgent case and quite frankly he could have been sorted three hours earlier. Also I’m not an immigrant- I was born, raised and educated in U.K.
Yeah sadly not surprised. We’re becoming more fragmented as a society thanks to the internet. Division to gain money and power.
Patients are also facing unprecedented racism from NHS staff. Neither should be the case but apparently you can’t expect adults to act like adults any more
Fine then you can go to the imaginary hospital in that field next door.
UK faced with unprecedented used of the word ‘unprecedented’
Never heard the word once until 2020, now it’s a daily headline.
Perfect, the exact type of people we don’t mind not being treated.
Had a nose op a few weeks ago had an amazing chat with a new Pakistani nurse.
These people are precisely the type of migrants we want to attract.
Annoyingly, it comes from both sides in many professions.
Using the true upvote here – not because I like it, but because it’s true and important
Honestly I just want someone I can understand. I don’t care where they’re from, I just have a hard time underatanding what I’m being told through a thick accent and mispronounced words. I think communication and better English language courses would help alot. But with the turnover in the NHS it’d probably be impractical
If patients are racist they should not be treated… Dr’s and nurses deserve respect, and not have to treat racists
Hmm, I wonder if this can be attributed to any sort of fringe populist movement that many media outlets, including the BBC, are giving a disproportionate amount of attention to, which is possibly empowering people to act like this.
Utterly stupid. Racism on its own is disgusting and there is never a valid reason for it. Being racist towards somebody who can potentially save your life in an emergency is the dumbest thing imaginable. I don’t know how nhs staff do their jobs even under good conditions. Knowing that there are some patients who treat them in such a racist way is so sad
I’ve spent a lot of time in hospitals recently. Lots of foreign doctors and nurses and…I couldn’t have cared less. They treated me, they helped me when I needed it and they arranged after-care. These people are amazing at what they do and their ethnicity has absolutely no correlation to their ability to do the job.
the other week they linked a mentally ill person’s attack on two jews and a muslim with anti-genocide marches
let’s see if they will now link unprecedented levels of overt racism with the anti-immigrant rhetoric being peddled by the right
The fact that NHS staff are having to put up with this while also dealing with underfunding and burnout is absolutely disgraceful, and honestly, treating racist patients with the same patience they refuse to show others only enables this behavior.
It’s not just the patients though. As somebody that works in the NHS I hear my colleagues being racist and homophobic quite frequently.
They should have the right to refuse to treat them for racist behaviour
As a white British man whose partner came to work in the NHS from Asia at the request of Tony Blair’s government, I feel thoroughly ashamed to read this. I do hope that managers will support their staff when faced with this abhorrent behaviour and not make excuses. If this happened to my partner, I’d be at that hospital without hesitation demanding action. It makes my blood boil.
