A judicial inquiry into the ACT’s healthcare system is being called for after a Canberra surgeon made claims of witnessing bullying and harassment.
Urologist, Dr Maurice Mulcahy, says the lack of improvements in training and culture is not only making the ACT healthcare system an unattractive place to work, but is putting patients’ lives at risk.
The Urology Department lost training accreditation in 2015 due to bullying and harassment, in addition to long waiting list which saw patients waiting up to five years to see a urologist.
