NHS England: The right of NHS staff to speak up and effective communication during the COVID-19 pandemic (15 May 2020)

Summary

Our NHS staff are doing fantastic work to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and keep essential services going – their hard work and dedication during this difficult time is remarkable.

As the NHS Chief Executive Sir Simon Stevens made clear in his letter of 29 April 2020 to NHS chief executives, it is important to remind everyone of the duty – and right – of those who work in the NHS to speak up about anything which gets in the way of patient care and worker wellbeing.

Hear what Prerana Issar, the first NHS Chief People Officer, has to say in her blog.
