Summary
The annual joint whistleblowing disclosures report has been been produced as part of a collaborative initiative with nine regulators. It aims to highlight how, together as partners, the regulators are addressing serious concerns raised by health and care professionals in the UK.
In 2023-24, the NMC took 225 forms of action after receiving and assessing 149 whistleblowing disclosures. Among these disclosures, the NMC referred 91 to other regulators, so they could take action. This compares to 137 disclosures that they received in the previous year, including 47 onward referrals. None of the disclosures relate to concerns about the NMC and its internal culture.
The most common themes of these disclosures were: management issues; patient care; health and safety; dishonesty; communication issues; prescribing and medicines management; behaviour or violence.
