We must address bullying at every level in healthcare

The risks to patients are well documented, with bullying linked to poor teamwork, practice errors and communication failures

Bullying can also take the cruel form of exclusion, where a person is deliberately cut off from interactions with others.

Chatting with my teenage daughter about the latest episode of US presidential bullying and hubris, it became clear that she believed that Donald Trump’s conduct is rare in adult life. Once schooldays are finished, a bully-free nirvana appears, as adults don’t commonly bully each other.

Unfortunately, this is not true.
