We welcome the (brief) mention of sexual harassment in the new 10 year health plan but have some questions:

Last week @thebma members voted in favour of a motion for the BMA to lobby for a national reporting system for sexual harassment, mandatory active bystander training, external investigators to assess cases of sexual misconduct and support victims as witnesses in tribunals.
And we fully agree!

‼️ Calling all med students! We need you to complete our survey on sexism and sexual violence at med school. We need to know if you have experienced any form of sexism, sexual harassment or sexual assault whilst studying or out on placement so that we can demand med schools protect students better!

We are deeply concerned about the outcome of a medical practitioner tribunal for a doctor accused of rape. The tribunal found he had committed rape but gave him a 12 month suspension from clinical practice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
