Half of the 164 student midwives surveyed recently by researchers from the University of Ulster had either witnessed or experienced bullying. Furthermore, nearly a third of them had been bullied by more than one person.

What do you think? Is bullying in midwifery becoming more prevalent and driving people out of the profession at a time when recruitment and retention is a growing problem?
