Thread 1/5 The publication of england.nhs.uk/publication/wo… is a moment for humble reflection for the #NHS leadership community. While there is evidence of modest improvement, there’s a significant way to go before we eliminate workplace inequality for our ethnic minority colleagues
2/5 Delivering equality of outcome & opportunity is our professional & moral obligation as senior #NHS leaders and where this isn't already happening, we must all be accountable for developing and delivering urgent plans to eliminate inequality @WRES_team@Jenldt@AntonEmmanuel2
3/5 Although there are examples of excellent practice across all WRES indicators, no one #NHS organisation is doing everything well. As set out in england.nhs.uk/publication/we…, each of our organisations must develop measurable strategies to quicken the pace of change @WRES_team
5/5 Thankyou to everyone working bravely to create a compassionate and inclusive culture which understands, encourages and celebrates diversity. Let's act now to ensure the past year spurs us on to improve equality for ethnic minority staff and communities england.nhs.uk/publication/wo…

#BlackLivesMatter: a thread. 1/ Like most people of colour, I have experienced #racism, but I've learned more profoundly how it plays out in everyday life since I joined the #NHS.
2/ It’s in the #NHS that I’ve had the privilege of learning from those who care tirelessly for others despite being systematically disadvantaged. Many of us are feeling hurt and hopeless right now. There is some anger. Whatever you are feeling, it is valid.
3/ For years it has fallen to people of colour to educate others, to fight for basic rights and privileges some take for granted. But many are tired. What has happened to #GeorgeFloyd and others has triggered painful memories of personal experiences.
