Abstract:
Sir Robert Francis QC's Freedom to Speak Up review reported that there is still a "serious issue" around the treatment of whistleblowers. This article explores why raising and escalating concerns are integral to healthcare governance systems and processes, and presents Escal8 – a new model that outlines the steps in doing this. It also examines the importance of learning and sharing from escalation, and the impact on quality and safety.
