Black History Month - nominate a colleague who has gone above and beyond for you or someone you know    

From 2020 to 2021, we have seen and felt pain like no other, and we have felt joy and love upon reuniting with our loved ones. Our strength is in our unity to lighten the load that we all share. Yet we can’t become what we do not see, and what we have within UHP are resilient, tenacious and kind individuals who have gone above and beyond.

During October it is common to champion international figures but this year, in honour of Black History Month and for those who have suffered from the pandemic, we ask colleagues from all areas of our Trust to nominate an ethnically diverse colleague, or ally, who has impacted you in a positive, meaningful and memorable way, or has done something you feel deserves recognition. We really want to bring forward those who are championing the values of being a great colleague and making a difference in the workplace.

To nominate a colleague, please head to: https://www.plymouthhospitals.nhs.uk/black-history-month-nominate-a-colleague and state the reason why you feel they should be recognised during the month.

We hope to feature our ethnically diverse colleagues and allies by way of these nominations throughout Black History Month.

A doctor’s faith and values can be a great personal support to them throughout their life and career. But there may be times when their beliefs impact the way they practise. 

Our new webpage brings together key aspects of our guidance on personal beliefs. It contains resources and good practice examples for medical schools, employers and training organisations, to help them better support their colleagues and students. And it will help doctors to practise in line with their faith and values, while ensuring their patients receive the care they need.

Developing this new resource is part of our ongoing work to champion equality, diversity and inclusion in medicine, for the benefit of both doctors and patients.
