Paragraph: 157
Independent review panels achieve referral parity between white and ethnic minority doctors
Conclusion
The NHS has shown through the pilot scheme in the East of England that setting up independent review panels to review anonymised case information before cases are formally referred to the General Medical Council results in parity of referral between white and ethnic minority doctors. This practice must be rolled out to all NHS Trusts as a matter of urgency to ensure that the referral process is operating fairly and equally for everyone.
