I regret to inform you that we have had to cancel: Challenging the "old boys' club" culture in medicine with Daphne Romney QC. The event was to be held at Somerville College who have taken the decision to cancel all internal and external events following the development of the Coronavirus.

We plan to hold this event later in the year and very much hope you will be able to join us then.

The British Medical Association (BMA) commissioned Daphne Romney QC to produce a review after two doctors alleged sexism and sexual harassment by elected members of the BMA. Her independent report made recommendations to address gender bias and wider harassment in the BMA and sought to ‘focus attention within the BMA on the damaging elements of the discriminatory culture’. In this talk, Daphne Romney will share her findings and challenge us to learn from her work to focus our attention to prevent and mitigate bullying and harassment in the workplace. This talk is hosted by the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences as part of our Better Workplace activity.
