@StemUnlocked has written a great article analysing in more detail how the STP diversity data compares between ethnicities and against census population statistics.

We are still waiting for @NSHCS to release more data, by specialism, so we can understand the true trends shown./1 https://twitter.com/StemUnlocked/status/1288785622556127232

Key findings from @StemUnlocked show the proportion of successful STP applicants was;
- 1 in 160 for Black applicants
- 1 in 28 for Asian
- 1 in 16 for White applicants
with White trainees making up 86% of the final cohort despite accounting for only 67% of applications. /2

To quote the @StemUnlocked article: "These findings are even more shocking considering that BAME applicants are over-representated at the beginning of the STP process. The high number of BAME applicants has clearly not translated into the equal admission of BAME STP trainees." /3
