Black surgeons ‘promoted far less than white colleagues in England’

Analysis of NHS careers raises fears that treatment will suffer unless ‘old boys’ networks’ are dismantled

Black surgeons are far less likely to be promoted than their white colleagues, according to analysis of NHS medics’ careers in England.

Black men who were junior surgeons in 2010 were 27% less likely to be promoted to consultant than white men between 2016 and 2020, while black women were 42% less likely. The stark evidence of a glass ceiling has raised warnings that treatment may suffer unless senior ranks are made more representative and “old boys’ networks” dismantled.

Women’s Super League 2021-22 previews No 7: Leicester

The newly promoted team have been heavily backed in the summer and look equipped to stay up

In women’s football you’ll often find there are men’s clubs that talk the talk a lot more than they walk the walk. Leicester City, however, do the latter. The women’s side were taken fully under the wing of the club and turned fully professional in the process in August 2020.
