Freedom To Speak Up

Remember, you can speak up about anything you consider to be harming the service we are striving to deliver!

"Failure to speak up can cost lives. We need to get away from a culture of blame, and the fear that it generates, to one which celebrates openness and commitment to safety and improvement. If these things are achieved, the NHS will be a better place to work. Above all, it will be a safer place for patients." - Sir Robert Francis QC.

 

Mel Anderson was appointed as our Freedom to Speak Up Guardian in November 2021.
