The social media postings were probably not a good idea.
I think whistleblowing is important. We have clear guidance at work including a third party company that we can use. Whistleblowing about the company as a whole is also encouraged - e.g. if we breach a regulation on the basis that the sooner we find it and report it, the lower the fine and reputational damage will be.
I know the NHS can be difficult with whistle blowers.
When Miss Z was in her second year at a large southern hospital there were some nights on call where she was the only doctor available and it put patient's lives at risk. Things came to a head when there were 2 crashes at the same time at other ends of the hospital and she was the only doctor there.
She did protest through the Trust channels and took advice from her mentor.
There were some quick changes with more doctors available within a couple of nights.
A couple of the senior registrars that should have been onsite but were not, had to go elsewhere.
A couple of weeks later she reported that a very senior doctor from the Trust came up to her after a training course (having never met her before) and asked, in good humour, if the changes now met with her satisfaction!
