Sexual misconduct has no place within the workplace.

The experiences shared in the The Working Party on Sexual Misconduct in Surgery report are wholly unacceptable and must not be dismissed.

We will play our part in implementing the recommendations: bit.ly/46ae8MM

The Working Party on Sexual Misconduct in Surgery 2/4: The personal accounts in their report, which we also heard during the The Working Party on Sexual Misconduct in Surgery roundtable earlier this year, are truly shocking. There can be no place for any form of sexual harassment, discrimination, misogyny or bullying in the medical profession.

Nearly one in three female surgeons say they have been sexually harassed and assaulted by colleagues in the past five years.

That’s according to a study published today in BJS.
