@MedicineGovSte Jude Tipper commsHERO @CiprHealth @RachRoyall CommsUnplugged Dean Royles @CIPRYorksLincs NHScommsorg Lisa Ward Wingman @comms2point0 Thanks for sharing - we know that speaking up is essential and creating the cultures to do that is a mixed picture even within services within a single organisation like mine. As CEO, I know setting the tone is something I have to do every day. Hence my focus on values.

While healthcare workers fight on behalf of us all against #COVID-19, they can still risk their jobs for blowing the whistle on dangerous practices and wrongdoing. New blog by WBS 's Marianna Fotaki and Kate Kenny is off to bluesky @katekenny from @nuigalway chpi.org.uk/blog/healthcar…

I hadn't come across this term (DARVO) before, but I recognised this offender behaviour straight away, in the context of retaliation by employers against staff who have raised concerns in the public interest.

Yes, the theory that PIDA protects staff after speaking up is an illusion.

#Oliverscampaign Oliver would be so proud of his beloved Liverpool. You will never walk alone is written on Oliver's headstone. So many people have taken Oliver into their hearts, he will not be forgotten and will have all if us walking beside him

When "whistleblowers" raise concerns it is almost invariably internally, at least in the first instance. In speaking up they are simply doing their job.

Looking for something to do after today's Wordle? Do you like doing crossword puzzles? Whether you do or don't, you might like to read 'Crossword counterpoint: glimpses of NHS whistleblowing terrain': pslhub.org/learn/culture/…

Thank you Megan Reitz for your tweet ⬇️, and to John Higgins for forwarding the newspaper crossword which prompted it! This was the inspiration for a recent Patient Safety Learning article: 'Crossword counterpoint: glimpses of NHS whistleblowing terrain': pslhub.org/learn/culture/…

Yes, I suggest that many NHS staff who have suffered reprisals from their employers after raising valid concerns in the public interest readily identify with this sense of profound betrayal.

Watch this refusal by Minister to answer me on why flights are cheap & trains so expensive - not helped by patronising substitute Tory Cttee Chair shushing me when I dare to do my job holding Govt to account Share if you think we need answers, not obfuscation from the boys 💪
