Learn not blame

Learn not blame

Learn Not Blame is DAUK’s central campaign launched in Parliament on 20th November 2018. We aim to empower individual doctors to be part of a transformational change process working towards a revolution in the culture of the NHS.

For too long, when things go wrong, the blame culture has prevailed. This is endemic both within the profession and NHS organisations more widely, often without genuine analysis of systemic failings, or learning from what happened. Recent high profile cases have illustrated just how toxic this blame culture can be. In this campaign, we are coming together to say: enough. This has to stop.

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, we provided a calm and consistent voice in the media. We supported NHS staff to share their stories anonymously through us to ensure the public was aware of conditions on the frontline whilst protecting doctors' identities. During the first wave, we fought tirelessly for doctors whilst working on the NHS frontlines ourselves. We helped deliver PPE to GPs, we secured a death-in-service benefit for health and social care staff, and we saw the deeply unfair immigration health surcharge scrapped for our hard-working NHS staff. As the voice of frontline doctors, we advocated for NHS staff at the highest levels of Government. We are currently involved with the Covid enquiry.
