This practical guide promotes the standard collection and use of ethnic group and related data on patients, service users and staff of the NHS and social services. It updates and widens previous guidance issued in 2002. It features a range of good practice examples drawn from various parts of the NHS and social care. Through using this guide, the NHS and social services will be assisted in meeting their responsibilities under the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000. The guide will be updated every six months to reflect Department of Health policies and to refresh service and workforce data. We would be pleased to receive further examples of good practice relating to the areas covered in the guidance.
