More than half of staff at a hospital trust that has been under fire for its "toxic culture" have said they felt bullied or harassed.
The findings come from an independent review commissioned by University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) NHS Trust.
It has been at the centre of NHS scrutiny after a culture of fear was uncovered in a BBC Newsnight investigation.
UHB has apologised for "unacceptable behaviours". It added it was committed to changing the working environment.
Of 2,884 respondents to a staff survey, 53% said they had felt bullied or harassed at work, while only 16% believed their concerns would be taken up by their employer.
Many said they were fearful to complain "as they believed it could worsen the situation," the review team found.
