ALT Sir, we write to express our disgust at comments made by Dr Peter Hilton that doctors subjected to "sexually inappropriate comments and actions" should accept this as part of medical training and practice. Such actions are wholly unacceptable. Sexual misconduct must not be tolerated in any workplace and people affected deserve compassion, justice and a commitment to zero tolerance from their employers and colleagues. Attitudes such as Dr Hilton's do not represent the views of our members but do perhaps demonstrate why sexual misconduct is sadly so widespread within healthcare. It is vital we do everything we can to eradicate these attitudes and behaviours. Dr Fiona Donald, President, Royal College of Anaesthetists, Dr Simon Ford, Chair, Welsh Board of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, Dr Daniele Bryden, Dean, Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine.
