It offers an opportunity to think about language as well as actions that can overtly or covertly lead to exclusion of patients, colleagues and citizens. It is an action-orientated module, that moves on from describing patterns and impact of racism to offering tools to maximise recognition of potentially harmful situation or interaction and enabling a response that could positively influence outcomes.
