RCN launches whistleblowing helpline
Published: 28 May 2009
In response to RCN member whistleblowing concerns, the RCN has launched a new helpline: Raising concerns, raising standards.
This is an additional service for members including students who have concerns over clinical and staff safety in the workplace or on placement. Please note, it is important that you raise any concerns directly with your employer or mentor as you have a duty under the NMC to report concerns where patient care may be affected.
The raising concerns raising standards initiative is not an alternative to raising issues with your employer. However we are keen to hear of any issue that you think impinges on patient safety and the steps you have taken to get the matter resolved.
If you have any concerns about whistleblowing and would like to discuss them please call the new helpline on 0845 772 6300.
