Another day another scandal! We have responded to two NHS whistleblowers this morning who are being asked to lie as part of another preventable death. They have been stonewalled by their management. Our team is supporting them.

Well done to Dr Kevin after NHS are ordered to pay him £870,000 in compensation for loss of his career after he spoke out on patient safety. The mealy mouth comment from his former employer is shameful.
