Nurse students, trainees and qualified staff will be able to use new toolkits about patient safety and raising concerns by the end of the year, Health Education England has confirmed.

The workforce development body has launched a new commission on education and training for patient safety, which it said would result in every member of NHS staff receiving “robust” new training in how to raise concerns about the way patients are treated.

It comes in response to Sir Robert Francis QC’s independent report on whistleblowing, the Freedom to Speak Up review, which included a recommendation that all staff and students should be taught about speaking out.

Training for students about raising concerns should be “embedded” within undergraduate and postgraduate courses, said the report, which was published last week.
