There have been a number of incidents around midwifery and an RCN survey in 2009 described in one unit as having a "gang culture" of bullying/hazing to see if you were tough enough, and don't get started on midwives vs junior doctors.
Add in decades old rivalries between CEOs of neighbouring Trusts, desperation all around to not be an outlier amongst your peers on any performance measure lest NHS England send in a team etc. etc.
Which would be tragic, because this was mostly a management failure and it's not as if we haven't had serial killing doctors. Ironically, one possible motivation cited for the management resistance to the whistleblowing doctors was that they (the management) mostly had careers connected to nursing and instinctively distrusted doctors making accusations about a nurse. Toxic culture all round.
