Stamping 
out bullying 


The leader of the doctors’ BMA union in Scotland has called for urgent action to stamp out the “scandal” of bullying and harassment in the health service. 


BMA Scotland council chair Lewis Morrison made the call after a union survey of almost 1,000 doctors found 38% saying bullying and harassment is an issue in their workplace. A quarter said they would not feel confident in reporting such behaviour.


The union will launch a major initiative to tackle these problems this year and called on the Scottish government and NHS managers to make Scotland’s NHS a more positive place to work.
