We must fix medicine’s culture of bullying and harassment: Medical Board of Australia

Emeritus Professor Anne Tonkin
Stressed doctor

The medical profession has a long and proud history of altruism, professionalism and personal sacrifice in the service of the community.

The past couple of years has drawn heavily on these qualities. 

The stresses on the health system, the health workforce and most particularly on doctors have been enormous during the pandemic.

These pressures remain and perhaps continue to escalate, clinical demands keep increasing and the challenges facing our profession are well documented.
