    5 yrs ago I was sexually harassed+assaulted while working as a nurse in the #NHS. It was covered up+the perpetrator was promoted. I had to protest outside Parliament to get an independent investigation. It’s been torture. Over the next 3 weeks my case may conclude. Watch me

    388 days since I lost my job as an NHS nurse for whistleblowing about a children’s nurse who sexually harassed and assaulted me and 6 other women. Disgusting amounts of public money spent on covering up the truth and persecuting me. He can nurse your children, I have no job

    I am standing outside @NHSEngland Wellington House. I used to work here. I lost my job because I whistleblew. @AmandaPritchard talks about staff reporting sexual harassment yet has never answered any of my emails. I am now unemployed. He’s nursing children in London

    The result of whistleblowing in the NHS. My ultimate punishment. Freedom to speak up? An absolute disgrace. Sorry to the other 6 women who also reported the perpetrators behaviour- I tried my hardest and now pay the ultimate price 💔@nmcnews @wesstreeting @AmandaPritchard

    I reported sexual harassment by a colleague in the #NHS. I was asked 17 pages of questions he was asked 5. I was told I couldn’t speak to a counsellor or my GP he was offered one to one mentoring. I am not working he is #ItsNotOK

    After 405 days off the register following whistleblowing, I am back on! I cannot find the right words to say how much it means to me for this injustice to be corrected but today is my Christmas. Thank you to everyone who supported me x This has taught me to never give up!

    A yr ago today I lost my job due to whistleblowing in the NHS. I lost my livelihood and career because I spoke up to protect others. There will be more Mid Stafs/Jimmy Savilles/Countess/Nottinghams etc while this crucifixion of whistleblowers continues. Our patients deserve more

    My legal bill. I spoke up to protect my colleagues and the public. I’ve lost my career as a result and I have no income. How on earth is this okay? @wesstreeting @RosieDuffield1 @Keir_Starmer

    7 years ago I was sexually harassed and assaulted by a nursing colleague in the workplace.  I should never have had to go to the lengths I did to be heard or to protect others from his behaviour.  I should have been supported and others protected.  It has been literal hell.

    21 000+ people liked my tweet and it’s been seen over a million times! So many DM’s, offers of support and kind words. Absolutely overwhelmed. Incredibly grateful. A tough couple of weeks coming up but when you hear the truth you will understand why I whistleblew ♥️
