The Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) confirmed in 2019 that although Black Nurses & Midwives make up only 6.7% of the Nursing Register, Black Nurses & Midwives represent a massive 12.4% of all new complaints or referrals for investigation. The Equality Act 2010 protects Black Nurses and midwives from discrimination; however, there is no requirement for healthcare or other sectors to report unwarranted pay gaps differentials by ethnicity. Institutionalised racism within Healthcare is a serious and insidious problem, which leads to discrimination. Many Black Health Care workers have become so deeply oppressed that they are unable to recognise or verbalise their feelings and often have difficulties expressing what they are experiencing. "Equality 4 Black Nurses" aims to prevent and reduce inequality and discrimination within the healthcare sector. We believe that there should be greater transparency and accountability when reporting proven incidence of racism due to subjective and unjustified allocation of pay increments which affects particular ethnic groups. Please take 5 minutes to fill in this survey to help our organisation 'Equality 4 Black Nurses' address the wider issues as we fight to put an end to systemic and institutionalised racism within the National Health Service. Please also share the link with others who may have an interest in these issues. Survey can be found here: https://bit.ly/3fObz9Z
