You have been working in a junior fellow role on a medical ward for around six months

You have been working in a junior fellow role on a medical ward for around six months, at a district general hospital. During this time you have noticed numerous substandard practices, which you have thus far raised to the department clinical lead, and the trust’s medical director. It has been several months now, and these concerns have not yet been acted on – and the substandard practices are continuing.

You confide your concerns in a close friend, who is not in the medical profession. They suggest you make your concerns public.
