Doctor Informed - surviving in scrubs

The culture which allows sexism to perpetuate in healthcare is no better illustrated than by The BMJ's investigation into sexual abuse in the NHS.

However, The BMJ are not the first organisation to highlight the problems - Surviving in Scrubs  have been collating stories of sexism in healthcare, and making waves about the issues for a while.

In this episode of Doctor Informed, Clara Munro is joined by the founders of Surviving in Scrubs, to discuss their campaign, how to create a culture of zero tolerance for sexism at the ward level, and why they think sexism should be a professional issue.

Our guests;

Becky Cox is an academic GP researching domestic abuse and GP specialist in gynaecology in Oxford.

Chelcie Jewitt is an emergency medicine trainee in Liverpool.

Bron Biddle, founder of Ambulance Voices, and an employee in the ambulance service.
