Incivility and poor workplace behaviours can hinder psychological safety and impact team morale, effective communication, and overall team performance. These permissive environments can lead to defensive practice, high stress, burnout, and sickness.

In this episode, Laura Hipple, Ganga Verma, and Susie Crowe discuss the importance of promoting positive workplace behaviours in our specialty, for both staff and patient safety, and explain the impact that poor workplace behaviours can have on the workforce. Ganga and Susie share more about their role as RCOG Workplace Behaviour Advisors and offer insight into the breadth of the RCOG’s ‘Supporting our Doctors’ portfolio, including signposting to key resources that can support you throughout your career.
