About me
Patient experience led to 30 years as user representative, healthcare activist, writer, author, speaker and in medical education. I co-authored an article in Health Care Risk Report with Katharine Tylko and have written in BMJ, HSJ and other medical journals. I have held patient rep roles with several Medical Royal Colleges and many other organisations. I am as concerned for staff as I am for patients, especially those who try to whistleblow.

Is the word 'Whistleblowing' taboo?

userrep replied to Steve Turner's topic in Speak Up Guardians

Thanks Steve. Once I had started speaking out about healthcare matters (30-odd years ago!) I felt freed to say what needed to be said - on behalf of patients and also professionals. It's ongoing.

Great to see this problem on someone's agenda! For many years I've been appalled by the dreadful injustice meted out to healthcare workers who whistleblow for the sake of patient safety. Patients (too often) are also afraid to speak out - those who do so simply meet brick walls.
