Sadly there is no such thing in the uk

Two years ago the chief medical officer launched an on line reporting system for anything from concerns through near misses to deaths

But it isn't in any way confidential so you have to be a bit silly to use it. Bullying is rife in hospitals and sadly some managers would use a report against the author. As for the lawyers......

Medicine always thinks it is safe and state of the art but in terms of crm and reporting and modifying practice we remain in the dark ages
