Allegations a senior doctor at Waikato Hospital sexually harassed and bullied a senior female colleague have been dismissed following an independent investigation. But the doctor has been told to stop his ‘tactile approach’. Waikato Hospital launched an urgent probe into allegations of sexual harassment and bullying in its general medicine department in April 2017. The allegations followed a damning report by the Medical Council of New Zealand, with claims bullying and harassment were under-reported at the hospital. The complaint focused on allegations made by a female senior clinician against a male colleague.
