Whistleblowing disclosures report 2021: healthcare professional regulators

The Nursing and Midwifery Council received 192 whistleblowing disclosures in 2020 –2021, compared with 107 disclosures the previous year. The rise in disclosures is largely due to Covid-19. Around a third of disclosures made during this year were related to the pandemic. The report highlights the collaborative efforts of eight regulators (General Chiropractic Council, General D ental Council, General Medical Council, General Optical Council, General Osteopathic Council, General Pharmaceutical Council, The Health and Care Professions Council and the Nursing and Midwifery Council) to address serious issues that health and care professionals have raised in UK workplaces.
