Nursing Narratives: Racism and the Pandemic
Black, Brown and migrant health workers make a critical contribution to the NHS and social care. The coronavirus outbreak exposed structural inequalities and disproportionately affected racialised minorities, including health care workers. The project collected stories of the working lives of Black and Brown staff and asked them to reflect on their experiences of racism and the impacts on their lives and to advocate the changes they would like to see.
