Bullying of students

Perhaps it is time in the UK that the CSP the student body, reps from NHS management, university educators, and trade unions got together to come up with a plan of how to assess and address the problem.

To understand the problem there has to be some decent research into the issue - such as a well conducted survey in which you have buy-in from all parties. One can't rely on anecdote based on individual reports. And one should always be vigilant that this doesn't end up becoming some sort of witch-hunt - a well documented social phenomena. Such reports of "endemic behaviour on the rise" need to be based on sound evidence.

It would be interesting to know what the what the make-up of ethnicity is amongst students applying for physiotherapy placements student rolls, staff in the NHS and hwo this reflects the communities they are serving.

Don't let anyone bully you. Just hit them really hard. With a bat if you need to.
