Abstract: | The media perpetuates the stereotype of the whistleblower forced to go outside his or her organization and risk his or her career to bring wrongdoing to public awareness. In fact, NHS trusts should all have a whistleblowing policy in place which encourages people to raise genuine concerns about wrongdoing, and offer protection to those who do this. This article aims to help health workers understand the whistleblowing process and so assist them in raising concerns within their organization. |
