Abstract
An exploratory qualitative study design was adopted
for this study and underpinned by Rex’s migrant
workers framework (Rex, 1999). Semi-structured
interviews were conducted with ten ward managers
from four NHS trusts in the north-east of England
to gain an insight into their experiences of working
with black African nurses with regard to equal
opportunities in accessing professional development
and promotion. Managers reported that black
African nurses experienced racism from patients,
racism from colleagues, discrimination and lack of
equal opportunities. A unique finding of the study
was that managers stereotyped black African nurses
as lacking motivation for professional development
and promotion. The authors recommend that NHS
ward managers receive training in implementing
antidiscrimination policies and valuing equality
and diversity.
