I am currently studying my Access to Nursing studies and for an assignment I must gain some primary research. I am doing an assignment on the Anti Discriminatory Practice and how this relates to provision of healthcare in the NHS. Please, if you have a minute any information would be very much appreciated. I am going to throw a few questions into the air and any that may catch your eye I would really appreciate some feedback.
Have you experienced any discrimination whilst using the NHS services? Was this direct or indirect?
Or have you witnessed any?
Have you ever been refused a certain treatment because of a protected characteristic?
Have you always been treated with respect, dignity and compassion?
Thankyou very much!

I agree with others can you be more specific as to what you mean by a protected characteristic ? I could give you many examples of discrimination within the NHS, cases of victimization, failings in the area of dignity, respect and compassion. One of the biggest areas of indirect discrimination is within the treatment of chronic long term illnesses . Sorry but I don't feel this research should be conducted on a public site as it may contain details of personal medical experiences.
Discrimination based on Age, Disability, Gender reassignment, Marriage and civil partnership, Pregnancy and maternity, Race, Religion and belief, Sex (man or a woman) and Sexual orientation
Speak to "carers together". They might be able to answer some of your questions or tell you where to get answers. They may be cagey because people who provide information not to the liking of the NHS get discriminated against when grants are handed out.
