In 2024, 54% of registered doctors in the United Kingdom were non-white.
In 2024, 36% of registered doctors were born outside the UK.
Of the medical workforce, approximately 181,000 doctors are white, while 209,000 belong to ethnic minority groups.
Why does the NHS maintain certain ethnicity/race specific DEl programs when most doctors are not white British/English?
This constitutes discrimination, greater attention needs to be drawn to this.
