Exclusive: Coalition of Medical groups tells UK government not to enforce 'chilling' NHS censorship on Palestine Submitted by Amara Sophia Elahi on Thu, 06/11/2026 - 17:51 The move comes after a report by John Mann recommended mandatory antisemitism training for NHS staff members, as well as banning political symbols in the workplace A National Health Service worker wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh protests outside Palantir's offices in December 2023 (Yassin Soudan/MEE) Off A coalition of medical associations representing over 13,000 healthcare workers in the UK is calling on the British government to immediately pause the rollout of a series of measures that would censor pro- Palestine advocacy within the National Health Service (NHS). Last week the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) endorsed a review into anti-Jewish hate and other forms of racism in the NHS by the UK government’s advisor on antisemitism, Lord John Mann. The review recommends mandatory antisemitism training for 1.5 million NHS staff members, as well as banning them from displaying political symbols in the workplace and preventing them from attending protests in their uniforms.
