Our recent Shattered Hopes report laid bare the extent of discrimination faced by senior NHS leaders from BME communities. This meeting provided an opportunity for BME Leadership Network members to come together and discuss plans to address the recommendations from the report.

During the meeting, Ifti Majid co-chair of the BME Leadership Network, spoke with passion about the recommendations from the report, including the importance of adopting a mentoring programme, supporting talent management and psychological safety for individuals.

In addition, information on a new mentoring programme was shared (to be be launched soon), alongwith insights from a pilot mentoring programme, which included compelling experiences from mentees on how the programme provided a safe space, built confidence and supported them with their development.
