Zeshan Qureshi and Jameela Sheikh discuss what they have learnt from talking to healthcare professionals and medical students about their experiences of racism in the NHS

To understand this further, we spoke to UK healthcare professionals and students about their experiences of racism in the NHS during the pandemic.
