West Suffolk

Over the last few months The Doctors’ Association UK has been hearing from whistleblowers at West Suffolk Hospital who have spoken to us candidly following a number of cases where patients had come to harm. They’ve described the “persecution” of whistleblowers and a “witch hunt” where the senior trust managers had sought fingerprints and handwriting analysis to identify the whistleblower. DAUK has commented widely on how this does not promote a free and open culture in healthcare, one which is fair and focuses on Learn Not Blame.
