Trainees are being abused by senior male surgeons, a major analysis given to the BBC reveals.
Registered surgeons - men and women - were invited to take part completely anonymously and 1,434 responded. Half were women:
63% of women had been the target of sexual harassment from colleagues
30% of women had been sexually assaulted by a colleague
11% of women reported forced physical contact related to career opportunities
At least 11 incidents of rape were reported
90% of women, and 81% of men, had witnessed some form of sexual misconduct
This is all self reported, but the numbers are still incredibly high.
