Abstract

The NHS is the largest employer of Black, Asian and minority ethnic staff in the UK. However, 15% of staff from these ethnic backgrounds have reported experiencing discrimination at work. Reverse mentoring programmes have been trialled as way of raising awareness and understanding of issues relating to equality, diversity and inclusion, particularly among senior management. However, these programmes have drawn some criticism. Instead, a programme based on reciprocal mentoring could be a more effective means of creating a more inclusive NHS culture. This article explores how such an approach could work in practice, with discussion of a pilot reciprocal mentoring programme that was implemented at Chelsea and Westminster Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust from September 2020 to May 2021.
超越非黑即白:包容性互惠指导模式,促进多样性、参与和理解
英国国家医疗服务体系是英国黑人、亚裔和少数族裔员工的最大雇主。然而,15%的这些族裔背景的员工报告称在工作中受到歧视。已试行反向辅导方案,以提高对平等、多样性和包容性问题的认识和理解,特别是在高级管理人员中。然而,这些方案引起了一些批评。相反,基于互惠指导的计划可能是创造更具包容性的NHS文化的更有效手段。本文探讨了这种方法如何在实践中发挥作用,并讨论了切尔西和威斯敏斯特医院NHS基金会信托基金会于2020年9月至2021年5月实施的试点互惠辅导计划。
