BAME Doctor article - not wealthy BAME footballers
User Posted Link
There is some evidence that doctors are sometimes reluctant to acknowledge their personal ill health. If you feel in any way that you belong to the ‘at-risk’ group, please ask for a personal risk-assessment.
It is known that some BAME colleagues are hesitant to raise concerns, find it difficult to say ‘no’. BMA surveys have shown that BAME doctors are more likely to experience workplace bullying and harassment. Please do not be shy to raise legitimate concerns.
Every doctor has the right to appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) and no one should be pressurised to work with inadequate protection. Despite this, a recent BMA survey showed that 64 per cent of BAME doctors have felt pressurised to work with inadequate PPE. Remember you have a right to say ‘no’ and the BMA has guidance for colleagues who find themselves in the rather unfortunate situation of being pressurised to work with inadequate PPE.
