The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) has joined health unions to condemn the rise in anti-migrant rhetoric, reaffirming support for international colleagues in the UK's health and social care system.
A joint statement signed by the CSP, BMA, RCN, Unite, UNISON, HCSA, and the Society of Radiographers, emphasizes the importance of diversity in the workforce.
Our health and social care sector is built on the hard work and rich diversity of its workforce. Many of our colleagues, especially those from international backgrounds or perceived as ethnically distinct from the majority population, are facing a sustained campaign of anti-migrant rhetoric.
The CSP and other unions stand together to support international colleagues working across the UK.
