On 16 October 2025, the government announced strengthened mandatory training on antisemitism and other forms of racism across the NHS. It also commissioned a review led by Lord John Mann into the response of healthcare regulators.

The announcement focused on discrimination, accountability and confidence that concerns would be addressed. Training was one element of that response, alongside scrutiny of the systems responsible for professional standards.
