BME Staff Network

Did you know that one in five nurses, more than one in three doctors and one in six of all NHS staff identify as BAME but nationally those staff are:

  • more likely to enter disciplinary processes
  • more likely to experience harassment, bullying or abuse, and
  • less likely to be appointed following shortlisting

The BME staff network provides a forum to actively ensure those figures are not representative within Newcastle Hospitals but in addition offers an opportunity for staff to come together, share experience, develop new skills and make friends.  Interested in finding out more, please take a look at our staff leaflet and click here to become a member
