‘If a patient asks to see a white doctor, the answer is no’: UK doctors told
UK doctors and National Health Service (NHS) staff have been told there will be zero tolerance of racism and should a patient ask to see a “white doctor” they are to refuse the request.
In a letter to all NHS staff, UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he was “horrified” at accounts of abuse directed towards a senior doctor and assured staff they’d be backed by management in tackling racism.
