Beyond the conversation: tackling racism in the NHS

After the NHS Confederation Expo, we were moved by the discussions and lived experiences about racism and discrimination in the NHS… we felt compelled to act!
It’s one thing to uncover the problem, but the real challenge is finding effective ways to tackle these issues within the NHS. What’s clear is although undoubtedly many people are doing great work to try to change this statistic – nothing has worked well enough to stop racism, discrimination and other problematic behaviours like bullying and harassment so far.
In this one-hour webinar, Our CEO Gemma is joined by Culture Shift partner UCL’s Director of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Aloma Onyemah. Through this role and her previous one as Head of EDI at LLR NHS Integrated Care System, Gemma and Aloma are sharing insights, data and innovative actions to tackle these problems head-on with their decades of experience.
We want to support you as NHS people leaders to move beyond the conversation and support you to find actionable solutions short term, to assist the long-term goal of preventing these behaviours and issues for decades to come, and to support the mission of making the NHS the best employer and they’ll be sharing thoughts and advice from their many years of experience in improving culture and preventing harassment of all kinds.

The Tribunal Risk HR Leaders Can't Ignore
Featured in HR News, our latest research in the Culture Shifters Annual Report 26-27 reveals a stark gap between how confident HR professionals feel about sexual harassment compliance and what they can actually prove. Of 300 senior UK HR professionals surveyed, 91% said they're confident their organisation could evidence taking "all reasonable steps" to prevent sexual harassment if challenged today. But when asked to demonstrate specific measures, the evidence often isn't there. Only half can show clear reporting processes are in place. Only a third have measures to prevent retaliation.
