NHS staff facing 'shameful' level of sexual harassment

Dr Navina Evans, chief workforce officer at NHS England, urged leaders to act on shocking levels of sexual harassment, following exposes by The Independent.

Asked about the one in eight workers who have reported unwanted sexual behaviour, she said: “It is shameful... I could tell you stories from my own experience from when I was a trainee right up to last year.

“It is a significant problem; it is everywhere. I think we have to ask ourselves and be much more aware of what’s going on around us. There are some really practical things that we can do ... Fundamentally, we must change attitudes and behaviour.”
