Bullying and toxic culture at NHS trust, report finds

Bullying and toxic culture at NHS trust, report finds Repeated cases of bullying and a toxic environment at one of England's largest NHS trusts have been found in a review.

The Bewick report was ordered after a BBC Newsnight investigation heard from staff at University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) saying a climate of fear had put patients at risk.

It cites anger that senior staff did not attend the funeral of Vaish Kumar, a junior doctor who killed herself.

The West Midlands trust said it fully accepted the report's recommendations. BBC News
