About this book

A groundbreaking examination of mentorship in nursing and healthcare through the lens of race.

This book challenges the patronising, performative forms of mentorship that too often pass for support in predominantly white institutions, and makes the case for culturally informed, race-conscious approaches that genuinely advance the careers and wellbeing of racially minoritised nurses and healthcare professionals.

Drawing on empirical research and clinical experience, Dr Ajibade interrogates the structures that perpetuate inequality in healthcare workplaces and offers a rigorous framework for mentorship that actually works. Essential reading for mentors, managers, and anyone responsible for workforce development in the NHS and beyond.
