HCSA has produced this guide to inform doctors about the Employers’ Playbook. This is a series of actions which may be deployed against you when you do speak up. You may think it will never happen to you, but, if you are a conscientious doctor and you speak up as the GMC instructs us to do, then there is a chance it will.
