Racism in the NHS - Documentary

DISCLAIMER: This video was self-funded by us; we are not receiving any funding from any public bodies, the NHS, or universities. We also do not claim to be experts on the subject of racism and we do understand that it is a more complex issue than what is mentioned in the video.

We are Alysha Harun and Hashvi Shah, two final year medical students, and soon to be doctors, from Keele University.

We are both from minority backgrounds and have seen racism play out during our years at university.
We created this documentary as part of our final year elective project to raise awareness about the growing issue of racism in the NHS and its impact on students, staff and patient care. We have showcased the different types of racism that play out in the NHS and highlighted the experiences of racism faced by ethnic minority doctors and medical students from across the UK. Furthermore, we have also explored some solutions in tackling this problem.

We hope that by sharing this documentary we can raise awareness on this issue and spark conversation within the medical community to help make a change.

We would be grateful if you could help to spread the word by sharing with your family, friends and colleagues. Thank you.
