This video, looking at perceptions of bias in how some black and minority ethnic cancer patients are treated by NHS staff, is part of a set of three short films. The films examine three themes – bias, communication and dignity – where experiences were reported to be poorer for BME people receiving treatment.

They are intended to explore some of the reasons poorer experience might be reported and to help commissioners of cancer services, and frontline staff, to recognise areas where improvements can be made. NHS England and NHS Improvement commissioned the films from human rights charity brap and Seecum Cheung, in an initiative linked to the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey, which shows that BME patients consistently report a poorer experience than white British people who take part in the survey.
