Whistleblowing In The NHS

It has been said, that we need a decent whistle-blowing system for the NHS, to give warning of serious problems, for as long as I can remember.

Such a system exists in the aviation and maritime industries, where mistakes can be equally tragic. It is called CHIRP and it has been in operation since 1982. Read about it, on the organisation’s web site.

It would appear to me, that to apply the CHIRP methods to the NHS would be extremely beneficial.

Perhaps, as they are the experts, CHIRP should be tasked with designing and operating the system for the NHS. Thirty years of experience must count for something!
