Whistleblowing hotline
This is an additional service to members who have urgent concerns over clinical and staff safety in the workplace. It is important that nurses raise concerns directly with their employer. Registered nurses have a duty under the NMC to report concerns where patient care may be affected.
The RCN whistleblowing 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.
Call the RCN whistleblowing hotline (0345 772 6300) or you can complete the whistleblowing form (members only) and we will ensure that your concerns are made known to your RCN country or regional office. Remember this is not a substitute for you reporting the issue to your employer or other relevant body.
Go to the whistleblowing form (members only).
However, If you would like to discuss the matter in confidence please contact an RCN Direct adviser on 0345 772 6100 8.30am to 8.30pm seven days a week. RCND Online advice has more information on this topic, please see Disclosure (whistleblowing).
