Our Impact
Concrete policy change, legal victories, and frontline advocacy since 2018.
What Makes Us Different
Learn Not Blame
Born from the Bawa-Garba case, our founding campaign promotes a just culture in medicine. Launched in Parliament with the Health Secretary, Learn Not Blame continues to shape how the NHS supports doctors who raise safety concerns.
Speed That Counts
When NHS Practitioner Health funding was threatened, the decision was reversed within a week. As the Financial Times reported, quoting one of our members: "When something needs doing, we do not sit on it."
Doctor-Led, Grassroots-Powered
Every committee member is a practising NHS doctor volunteering alongside clinical work. Our campaigns start because a frontline doctor tips us off — this is the advantage of a genuinely grassroots organisation.
