Pacienții din Marea Britanie refuză din ce în ce mai des să fie consultați de radiografi de culoare sau de origine asiatică

A recent survey in the UK reveals a rise in racist abuse towards radiographers, particularly those of color or Asian descent, within the NHS. Many medical professionals reported discriminatory behavior from patients, including derogatory remarks and refusals for treatment based on the radiographer's ethnicity. The NHS Race and Health Observatory highlighted the troubling nature of these incidents, linking them to broader societal prejudices and anti-immigration rhetoric. Reports indicate a significant increase in racism within healthcare, with one in five ethnic minority staff experiencing discrimination. The NHS has stated that racist behavior will not be tolerated, allowing hospitals to refuse non-urgent patients exhibiting such conduct.
