Evaluation of unconscious racial bias training for NHS senior practitioners to improve the experiences of racially minoritised students (Educator / Leader)

Not yet rated

Objective

A mixed-methods evaluation of unconscious racial bias training for NHS senior practitioners to improve the experiences of racially minoritised students

The degree awarding gap indicates that racially minoritised higher education students receive lower degree classifications relative to their white peers. While the reasons for this are complex, research suggests that educator and practitioner attitudes and behaviour towards racially minoritised students are a significant contributing factor. This preregistered study evaluates the effectiveness of unconscious racial bias training (URBT) to enhance National Health Service senior practitioner’s recognition of how racial inequalities negatively impact racially minoritised students.

Design

A mixed-methods study with a pretest and post test design was conducted in the higher education and healthcare practice environment
