NURSING UNIONS CALLING FOR THE END OF RACISM IN NURSING HEALTH SERVICES
The United Kingdom nursing union has called for greater equality for black and ethnic minority nurses in the health service as the nation celebrates seventy years since the Empire Windrush docked in Britain. The Empire Windrush arrived in Tilbury just two weeks before the National Health Service was founded and it is estimated around a hundred thousand nurses from the Caribbean and Africa came for training between 1948 and 1971.
