That is interesting that you aren't aware of any bullying within the hospital where you have pastoral responsibility for surgical trainees. That must be a relief, and perhaps a victory for the hospital. How did you feel when you were bullied as a trainee?

Thank you for this touching reply. Remember that bullies only target people who they feel threatened by, so you must have been a really good trainee for them to hurt you so badly. Whilst I don't wish you any bad memories, I hope you never forget the experience, so that it might help you guide and support juniors who are similarly bullied.

Do you have a pastoral role for junior surgeons?

How do you deal with bullying and undermining of trainees by their consultants, which is reported to be very common according to the 2013 GMC training survey? What happens to such cases which come to your attention?

So, what really is the best slide in the world? It's not allowed to be a blank one. That's cheating. It has to be a real powerpoint slide with something on it. A word or a picture. No blank slides allowed, no ctrlB allowed. What slide do you put up?
