About Us
Surviving in Scrubs is a UK based campaign dedicated to raising awareness of sexism, sexual harassment, and sexual assault within the healthcare workforce.

Through our platform, we share anonymous survivor stories to highlight the scale and impact of these issues, while advocating for cultural and systemic change across healthcare organisations.
