Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust said the message in a staff bulletin concerning the training, which is sponsored by NHS England and provided by the Antisemtism Policy Trust, had been ‘sent in error' and did not go through its usual sign off processes.

The statement followed a report in The Telegraph which said the message had been sent after concerns were raised by the trust's black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) employees that the training may be ‘inappropriate'.

The trust added: ‘We will be working with our BAME network and colleagues to ensure that our training and awareness offers on antisemitism, Islamophobia and all kinds of racial, cultural and religious intolerance, is of a high quality across the organisation to help maintain the highest possible quality of patient care in our communities.'
