Discrimination: how nurses’ experiences compare with NHS colleagues’
Discrimination in the workplace takes many forms and the law recognises this by protecting certain characteristics, including race, sex, age and disability. Nonetheless, nursing staff experience discrimination either directly, in the form of harassment, for example, or in indirect ways that might result in slower career progression. This infographic article draws on data including NHS Staff Survey 2024 results to illustrate the extent, nature and consequences of prejudice faced by nurses and support staff working in the health service. And there’s advice to help you if you believe you are subject to discriminatory behaviour or policies as a nurse or healthcare support worker.
