Address discrimination in the workplace and foster inclusive health spaces
Despite significant progress in promoting equality, high levels of discrimination persist within healthcare settings, undermining workplace morale, professional development, and the quality of care provided.
Addressing these challenges is crucial to creating a healthier, more inclusive environment for all. Join the University of Nottingham to gain the tools to address discrimination head-on and promote positive change.

You’ll begin this course by understanding the significance of allyship and active bystanding, particularly in healthcare contexts.
You’ll explore how both promote supportive and equitable work environments and actively challenge discrimination head-on.
Understand the culture of healthcare and its impact
Next, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the culture within healthcare settings, focusing on how psychological safety and kinship shape a positive workplace culture.
You’ll then reflect on the importance of enabling allyship in healthcare teams and the broader community, seeing how this can enhance collaboration and improve patient care.
Apply practical models for better workplace safety
Finally, you’ll learn to apply the 5Ds model and other strategies for intervening effectively in discriminatory situations.
You’ll practice assessing various scenarios, selecting the best approach to make a positive impact, and building your confidence as an active bystander in healthcare.
Through reflection, you’ll be ready to contribute to creating a more inclusive environment which you’re a part of.
