Escalation of Concerns

Please escalate any concerns who have whilst you are at work. These may be:

 Clinical concerns when you are concerned about the clinical picture whilst caring for a mother or baby

 Non-clinical concerns which may be behaviours and attitudes of clinicians

 Behaviours and attitudes of the people you are caring for

If you have escalated concerns and you do not feel that they have been addressed then do not be afraid to escalate them further, regardless of whom you escalated to. You will be expected to complete an ‘Inphase’ form (replaces Datix) if it is appropriate for the type of situation.
