Psychiatrists urge new leader to rid profession of institutional racism

Letter signed by over 100 UK psychiatrists says training and practice guides must change

Jul 1, 2020

More than 100 UK psychiatrists have written to their representative body urging it to root out institutional racism and a colonial mentality in the profession.

In an open letter to the new president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, Dr Adrian James, who starts in the role on Wednesday, the members say there is a “once-in-a-generation opportunity to put psychiatry at the forefront in tackling systemic racism”.
