Three Schools of Nursing have become the first education providers to back the 'Speak Out Safely' campaign in the UK.
The campaign launched in March 2013 by Nursing Times aims to make it easier for staff to raise legitimate concerns about patient safety.
One of the key aims is for all trusts and nursing organisations to pledge their support for the campaign. Over 60 NHS organisations had so far pledged to support the campaign and add specific protection for staff raising concerns to whistleblowing policies.
In December, they invited organisations involved in nurse education to support the campaign. The first to do so were the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences at Oxford Brookes University, the Nursing and Healthcare school at the University of Glasgow and the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work at the Unviersity of Salford.

The Dudley Group Foundation Trust and University Hospital of North Staffordshire Trust have become the latest acute providers to officially back the campaign.
