🧵An enduring strength of the NHS is its diverse workforce and on many aspects of race equality we have made welcome progress, but while colleagues from ethnic minority backgrounds are more likely to experience bullying, abuse and harassment, there is still work to be done.

Racial discrimination is unacceptable and it has no place in health and care. As nurses and midwives, we all have a responsibility under our professional code to challenge discriminatory behaviour, creating an environment where people are treated with dignity and respect.

This #RaceEqualityWeek , I encourage all #teamCNO colleagues to use the Combatting racial discrimination against minority ethnic nurses, midwives and nursing associates resource and to #ListenActChange .
