Raising Concerns
The National Whistleblowing Standards are applicable across all NHS services. They should be accessible to anyone working (whether directly or indirectly) to deliver an NHS service.
Training courses in National Whistleblowing Standards are available on Turas Learn for all staff who work on behalf of the NHS in Scotland, including members of the dental team.
Further guidance and resources can be found on the Independent National Whistleblowing Officer (INWO) website.
