All medical students deserve to be safe at university and on placement. Earlier this year, we surveyed medical students in collaboration with @survivinginscrubs.bsky.social to understand how sexism and sexual violence is impacting students. Read more: www.bma.org.uk/advice-and-s...

Research published in the @the_bmj_ this week showed women doctors are consistently misidentified as nurses despite wearing the same uniform as men. Are we surprised? No it happens all the time to us. Has it happened to you? Comment below

The results are out from the latest @gmcuk trainee survey. Last year the survey asked about sexual harassment for the first time so we were interested to see if there had been any change this year…

While the tribunal’s decision ultimately supported the dismissal, describing unwanted physical conduct as “innocuous” is damaging to victims especially in the context of coercion, intimidation and bullying of resident doctors.

Changes to the Workers Rights Bill are being made to prevent NDAs (non disclosure agreements) being used by employers to silence victims in cases of sexual misconduct at work! @theguardian.com

We welcome the (brief) mention of sexual harassment in the new 10 year health plan but have some questions: Producing staff standards on tackling sexual violence... what does this actually mean?

Surviving In Scrubs @survivinginscrubs.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

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!

And they only went and won the best first time speaker award! Congrats to Anya & Katie both student volunteers with us who took the BMA student conference by storm! Anya and Katie spoke about the need for med schools to sign up to NHSE Sexual Safety Charter & tackle sexual violence in med schools.

Super proud of med student volunteers Anya and Katie who presented their motion for the Student BMA council asking medical schools to sign up to NHS England Sexual Safety Charter and to take action on sexism and sexual violence affecting med students. And we’re pleased to say the motion passed!

These are word for word excerpts from the tribunal report for this sexual assault case. The doctor received a 12 month suspension despite being found proven to have raped a woman.

Surviving In Scrubs @survivinginscrubs.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

‼️ 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!

Surviving In Scrubs @survivinginscrubs.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

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...

Tomorrow is International Women’s Day 2025 More than ever we need to focus on women’s rights and equality in a climate where those rights are questioned and eroded. We are excited to be working on some big projects this year, one of which will be announced very soon #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction

New data from the GMC shows that for the first time there are now more female than male doctors with a licence to practise in the UK. This is a fantastic achievement and has taken 150 years to reach after women were first allowed to become medical students.

When it comes to reporting sexual misconduct, mddle aged women who are well established in their careers have less to lose than those who are younger or less established And despite this, many did not come forward for years Mr Wallace would do well to reflect on this 1/
