Healthcare Improvement Scotland has a whistleblowing policy. The policy has been set out by the Independent National Whistleblowing Officer (INWO).
About
The introduction of the INWO aims to ensure everyone delivering NHS services in Scotland can:
- speak up to raise concerns when they see harm or wrongdoing putting patient safety at risk
- can do so in a protected way that will not cause them personal detriment
It also aims to promote a culture of speaking up in the NHS. If you have a whistleblowing concern about Healthcare Improvement Scotland, please contact our HR team by email.
You can also get help and advice from the INWO advice line by:
- telephone: 0800 008 6112
- e-mail: INWO@spso.gov.scot
The INWO phone line is open from:
- 9am-1pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
- 12-4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays
You can read the policy on the NHSScotland workforce website.
