How to blow the whistle on NHS wrongdoings

How would one whistle-blow whilst working for the NHS in a hospital for example. Does anybody know the correct route to report things that don't just include your superior? as the problem may be known to them and being ignored for example.

Asking for a friend. Ha

(I see some shocking things at least weekly!)

There needs to be a safe place to report things so that they can be recorded at the very least, if not help change the NHS and all that. (Reference to the new government website change.nhs.uk)

Oooo this thread interests me quite a bit. I'll watch it so I get notified of replies. (People can do this on any thread).

I assume if your next above you can't sort the issue out or is part of the problem then the next person above them is where you'd think you would go. But I see your predicament there, you could lose your job maybe. Or not get considered for promotions and the likes.

I guess newspapers are where I'd go. Maybe The Guardian so they can keep the information and act once they have done their own investigation but I don't know how much access they would get.

The first thing to do is collect information and data and keep logs of things. If it's a criminal act then speak to police for sure!

Overdosing the homeless addicts or something harsh like that needs reporting to the police AND every newspaper.

Interesting thread though.

The Lucy letby situation shows that no matter how many people witness it and knew about it, it took ages and far too many deaths before anything was done about it. Imagine if you could help stop a situation where nurses are doing anything other than providing the best care should be watched for sure. Long hours can make tired people who can make poor decisions.

Could a website be built to report things on? And then the website shows how many complaints each hospital has kinda thing?
