Our Work

Welcome to Equality 4 Black Nurses (E4BN)

 

Founded by a Nurse who experienced systemic racism firsthand.

Equality 4 Black Nurses (E4BN) was born out of a fight for justice against the Metropolitan Police, the judiciary system and the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Our founder's lived experience and unwavering determination to clear her name inspired the creation of E4BN, a beacon of hope and change for Black Nurses facing similar challenges.

​
