I have never encountered an organisation as vicious in its treatment of whistleblowers as the NHS
Margaret Heffernan has thought a lot about whistleblowing, and why companies don't respond well to it. She wrote the "Book Wilful Blindness: Why We Ignore the Obvious at our Peril". In this podcast she talks about how culture, and groupthink, leads to a culture where whistleblowers are ignored, and why the NHS needs to change the way it treats people who try and call out poor care.
This was recorded at Risky Business - https://www.riskybusiness.events/ where you can find our more about the conference and watch previous talks.
