UK healthcare policy is increasingly emphasizing the need for healthcare services to be responsive to ethnic diversity. In recognizing the important role that nurses and midwives play in healthcare delivery, the English National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting--the statutory professional body that oversees nursing and midwifery education in England-commissioned a two-year research project to examine the extent to which nurses and midwives were prepared to work in a multi-ethnic society. The study found that not all practitioners were equipped to provide appropriate care to multi-ethnic populations. Below an overview of the study, which identifies some issues that may be of relevance to other countries.
英国的医疗保健政策越来越强调医疗服务需要对种族多样性做出回应。认识到护士和助产士在医疗服务提供中所起的重要作用，英国国家护理、助产与健康访视委员会——负责监督英格兰护理和助产士教育的法定专业机构——委托开展了一项为期两年的研究项目，以调查护士和助产士为在多民族社会中工作所做的准备程度。研究发现，并非所有从业者都具备为多民族人群提供适当护理的能力。以下是该研究的概述，其中指出了一些可能与其他国家相关的问题。
