In September, four top female doctors wrote an open letter describing misogyny, bullying, and sexual harassment in the workplace.
Dr Hilary Williams, vice-president for Wales’ Royal College of Physicians, and Dr Rowena Christmas, chairwoman of Wales’ Royal College of GPs, were among the signatories.
They described the revelations in this FoI as “absolutely shocking” and “horrifying” and agreed they will not paint the full picture as staff are often reluctant to report colleagues.
Dr Christmas remembers incidents of misogyny where she felt she could not speak up and still “caries the guilt of that”.
She added: “We’re losing doctors faster than we’re recruiting them to become medical students and you can’t help think this has something to do with that.”
