SPEAKERS:
Elizabeth Cotton. “NHS/Whistleblowing”
Elizabeth's talk will look at the state of health
and social care in the UK from the perspective of the people that deliver those
services. From whistleblowing to bullying the working culture in the NHS has
been described as operating under a 'pervasive culture of fear'. This talk will
look at the systemic and workplace factors that are keeping people from
speaking up about what's happening to health and social care. We will also look
at how people survive working in the sector.
