UK-REACH: United Kingdom research study into ethnicity and COVID-19 outcomes in healthcare workers, BMC ISRCTN registry

This study aims to look at the risk of COVID-19 in ethnic minority healthcare workers and try to understand the reasons why ethnicity may impact on COVID-19 outcomes over the next 25 years. Alongside the main study, three sub studies will also investigate closely related issues in smaller groups of healthcare workers and stakeholders: 1. The ethical, legal and acceptability issues that large studies involving personal and health data have to consider. 2. A qualitative study with the aim of understanding HCWs experiences of COVID-19, especially things like their views of the pandemic, challenges they have faced, or things that they think have put them or others at risk. 3. A stakeholder group of members from organisations representing different health care professions in the UK will provide feedback on the data coming out of the other work packages of UK-REACH.
