About this episode

This episode discusses the RCOG's commitment to racial equity in the workforce and the launch of their new resource aimed at fostering meaningful change.

he RCOG is committed to working towards racial equity in the UK, through listening to our membership, raising awareness and sharing examples of good practice that can overcome differential attainment and workplace discrimination. In this episode, Laura Hipple and Farah Siddiqui celebrate the launch of the RCOG’s Race equity in the workforce resource. Farah summarises the College’s work in this area over the last three years that led to the development of an eLearning package, including gaining member insights from across the UK. This free resource, hosted on RCOG Learning, is designed to empower every member of staff, at every level, to be a part of meaningful change, not just in conversation, but also through action. Farah explains what is included in the six modules and highlights how everyone can play their part in cultivating psychologically safe environments that benefit both staff and patients.
