Majority of Black Britons discriminated against by doctors and nurses, study finds
The majority of Black people living in Britain have reported being discriminated against by healthcare professionals because of their race, a landmark study has found.
The research was commissioned by the Black Equity Organisation (BEO), the national civil rights organisation launched earlier this year to tackle systemic racism in the UK
Seventy-five per cent of Black people aged between 18 and 34 have experienced prejudice while visiting doctors and hospitals, the national survey found. Meanwhile, 65 per cent of all Black people living in the UK have faced this discrimination.
Participants told researchers they felt their concerns were not listened to or incorporated into their treatment decisions
Black patients in the UK are also subject to more intrusive treatments, such as injectable anti-psychotics, and are less likely to be offered talking therapy for severe mental illness.
Fifty-nine per cent said they or someone close to them had experienced stop and search by police or wrongful arrest,
50 per cent of parents of under-18s said their children did not see themselves represented in either the teaching workforce or curriculum materials
The study also highlighted differences in optimism and experience within the Black community and found that people in marginalised communities, such as Black LGBT+ people or older generations, were less confident.For example, only 42 per cent of Black people over 55 and in the LGBT+ group of all ages were confident of their and their family’s future, whereas 70 per cent of Black Africans of all ages said they were confident.
The study is thought to be the most comprehensive piece of research into Black people’s lived experiences of racism in the UK to be produced in the past 10 years
The BEO’s study made use of an online survey of adults aged 18-plus in the UK.The UK national survey of 2,051 Black and mixed Black respondents was conducted between 5 October 2021 and 4 January 2022.
