Many nurses and midwives, qualified or in training, and their patients, experience racism in the healthcare system. This change-oriented book, based on the knowledge and experiences of people who have lived experience of being Black and minoritised bodies within the professions, and scholars who write and research on the topics, seeks to challenge the status quo.
Exploring the Western-centrism of contemporary healthcare and education that contributes to racialised and health disparities, this innovative ground-breaking book explores the historical and theoretical context of racism in contemporary nursing and midwifery. It goes on to look at the contribution that leadership and education can make to antiracism changes in practice. There are specific topics in chapters discussing whistle-blowing, the impact of covid, the experiences of international nurses and a case study of Welsh nursing antiracism policy. Each chapter takes a pragmatic approach, looking at how to implement antiracism change, ending with a reflection activity for the reader to complete. Intending to mobilise the profession to engage in antiracism policy, practice and education strategically and collaboratively for an equitable and just way of being and doing nursing and midwifery.
This book is an important read for nursing and midwifery students, professionals, educators and leaders.
