NHS staff have been called “monkeys” and patients have refused to be treated by non-white staff as experts report a rise in racism across the health service. The Society of Radiographers (SoR) said staff have reported a “noticeable” rise in racism from patients over the last 18 months, including patients calling staff “dirty foreigners” and talking about “people coming over here, taking our jobs”. A new poll of SoR members revealed that staff sometimes “accept” racist remarks as “something they have to put up with”. #racism #nhs
