 1 in 5 NHS doctors say they have experienced bullying in the last 12 months, according to a survey by the British Medical Association.
Twice that number believe that bullying, harassment and undermining of colleagues happens in their workplace, with 1 in 10 participants saying that such behaviour is a frequent occurrence.  At a recent workshop hosted by the Radiotherapy Quality Special Interest Group, MSB Director Carl Jackson shared MSB's experience of designing and delivering patient experience research for NHS England.

 A good clinical outcome will always be the key aim for patient and healthcare provider alike, but the patient’s healthcare experience is an area of growing focus for providers seeking to differentiate themselves from the competition.
 The best healthcare providers are proactively seeking to learn more about the patient experience and how it can be improved.
