Combatting racial discrimination against minority ethnic nurses, midwives and nursing associates
-
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has published its Statement for Professions on racism and disorder which aims to help registrants in their decisions and actions if they are feeling at risk. The NMC and other nursing organisations have condemned the disgraceful unrest, riots and violence witnessed across the country in the last few weeks. Everyone has the right to feel safe where they live and work.
