The review found that some Jewish NHS staff feel compelled to hide their religious identity due to antisemitism. Its recommendations call for improved reporting and learning from racist incidents, alongside updated training to address antisemitism and anti-Muslim hostility. Lord Mann said that NHS staff should not wear “political symbols” such as pro-Palestine or pro-Israel badges, and should not wear their uniform to political marches.
