In the healthcare context, whistleblowing has come to the fore of political, professional and public attention in the wake of major service scandals and mounting evidence of the routine threats to safety that patients face in their care. This paper offers a commentary and wider contextualisation of Mannion and Davies, 'Cultures of silence and cultures of voice: the role of whistleblowing in healthcare organisations.' It argues that closer attention is needed to the way in which whistle-blowers can become the focus and victim of raising concerns and speaking up.
在医疗保健领域,在重大服务丑闻和越来越多的证据表明患者在护理中经常面临安全威胁之后,举报已成为政治、专业和公众关注的焦点。本文对曼尼恩和戴维斯的“沉默文化和声音文化:举报在医疗保健组织中的作用”一文进行了评论和更广泛的背景介绍。本文认为,需要更加关注举报者如何成为提出关切和直言不讳的焦点和受害者。
