1) The Undermining Toolkit, jointly developed with the Royal College of Midwives, is a free comprehensive resource providing links to information and resources to help tackle undermining behaviour in the workplace.
It is aimed at trainees, members, fellows, midwives, nurses and GPs and is also applicable to other specialties at an individual as well as a trust and strategic level.
The toolkit is multi-disciplinary as undermining and bullying behaviour is a problem across all healthcare professions.
The resource is divided into sections that can all be accessed and used independently.
The sections are: Strategic interventions Unit/trust/local education provider interventions Departmental/team interventions Individual interventions (for both the victim and perpetrator)
The toolkit includes advice on what to do if someone is experiencing bullying or undermining and on how to prevent it in within the department or workplace.
The toolkit also provides information about successful workshops that have been run in maternity departments and by deaneries to help raise awareness and promote changes in behaviour https://www.rcog.org.uk/en/careers-training/workplace-workforce-issues/improving-workplace-behaviours-dealing-with-undermining/undermining-toolkit/
2) The Improving Workplace Behaviour eLearning tutorials use case studies and assessments that help individuals recognise bullying behaviours and their response to them, including the influence of culture and external factors.
The effect on patient care and education is highlighted, and practical ways of overcoming these behaviours explored.
Knowing how to give feedback is an important part of workplace behaviour and has its own tutorial. https://stratog.rcog.org.uk/tutorial/online-resource-improving-workplace-behaviour
