Dealing with Bullying, Harassment & Racism (Part 5)

As an international medical doctor, starting your employment in the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK can be an exciting and fulfilling experience. However, it is important to be aware of the potential challenges that you may face, including racism, bullying, and harassment.

This guidance booklet has been created to help you navigate any issues related to racism, bullying, and harassment that you may encounter during your employment in the NHS.

It provides practical guidance on how to recognize and report incidents of racism, bullying, and harassment. It also outlines the support and resources available to you, including confidential counselling services and support networks.

We hope that this booklet will help you to feel confident and supported as you start your employment in the NHS, and that it will help you to build positive working relationships with your colleagues and patients. Together, we can work towards creating a workplace that is free from discrimination, bullying, and harassment, and that values and celebrates diversity.
