What I have seen is senior docs throwing junior docs under the bus. Remember one memorable case where consultant blamed it all on his junior and I was stopped from asking more questions about his role and availability.
-
That's outrageous. I'm bursting to ask you 'stopped by whom?' but it's unfair to put you on the spot on twitter. Did he escape scrutiny? I realise this is a sad reflection of my sceptical mind, but I suspect that happens when complete cover up (the preferred route) is impossible.
-
it was in the context of an inquest. Not an uncommon experience.
-
In that context, I can only imagine one person with the ability to stop you. Which given the purpose of proceedings, would be concerning enough in a single example, never mind with any greater frequency.

Come inside, join the NHS, perhaps as a non-exec director, etc. Come & find out for yourself. You clearly have a lot to offer, experiences, intelligence, persistence, passion, desire to do the right thing. But don’t judge a system by its image, don’t judge from 1perseprive alone
-
You've no idea how much I'd love to do that, but there are 3 reasons I fear it'll never happen: 1. My unpredictable life responsibilities won't allow me. 2. No NHS trust would ever want me peeking behind their curtain. 3. I'd ignore any gag that came with my newfound WB status.

Try Scotland then...might be looking for someone in Highland Health Board!https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16902316.nhs-highland-medics-blast-culture-of-fear-and-intimidation-silencing-concerns-over-patient-care/ … -

Something tells me I may need to travel even further afield than that, but appreciate the thought. As I said... unlikely to happen, sadly.

Doesn’t mean it isn’t happening though. Doesn’t mean it isn’t a valid concern

Accepted. There are severe limits on what the likes of me are permitted to see. So when the limited view we do have appears unchanged, I hope it's easy to understand why many might assume nothing happened to change it.

Speaking as someone that's seen the system both form the chalkface & delving into the myriad of organisations behind the scenes, without being close to the probs it is hard to identify them. My colleagues are often shocked too to hear of the hidden issues away from the ward level
