Essential reading: The session referred to several long documents which will be useful if you are doing specific work on this. Here are some key summaries. Things which I believe everyone needs to know about whistleblowing and freedom to speak up: • Dr Umesh Prabhu ‘Happy Staff = Happy Patients’ article here: http: //www. worldhealthinnovationsummit. com/ • A whistleblower who stayed Dr Kim Holt , Kings’s Fund talk: http: //www. kingsfund. org. uk/audio-video/kim-holt-what-are-biggest-barriersachieving-culture-change-within-health-service • • Vindicated whistleblowers e. g. Dr Raj Mattu.
