Alicia Munroe

Alicia Munroe is a former foundation trainee doctor who started working at the Emergency Department of Holby General Hospital on 19 September 2015. She was due to work there as part of her 4-month rotation as a junior doctor, but departed in mid-November after less than two months due to Lily Chao's bullying.

Time in the Emergency Department (2015)
On her first shift, Alicia was paired with Lily to act as a mentor to her. When Alicia appeared to have had a good impression on the rest of the staff, Lily became annoyed as she failed to do so. At the end of Alicia's shift, Connie revealed to Lily that she thought Alicia was a "breath of fresh air", which further angered Lily.

The following week, some extremist attackers spread into the ED, stranding Alicia in resus with Max and Louise while the building was evacuated. Alicia managed to perform a risky operation which saved the patient, and Lily was annoyed that she had done it as she wasn't experienced enough, but the rest of the team were pleased with her efforts.

In November 2015, she decided to hand in her letter of resignation, emotionally overwhelmed and distraught as she reflected on her time in the ED. Her resignation was down to Lily's harsh manner towards her which quickly turned nasty and despite Lily perhaps having been oblivious to the extent, Alicia at least regarded it as bullying.
