Education Quality - Raising Concerns

Resident Doctors are often the first to identify issues within clinical and educational environments as their day-to-day experience gives them a unique insight into challenges that may affect patient safety and training quality.   This guidance sets out the process that Resident Doctors should follow when raising concerns about their training environment and patient safety, or any other issue that may affect the quality of training or care. A range of support is available to Resident Doctors who raise concerns.

We welcome people from all communities and ethnicities to take part in the study.
