NHS Employers, which is part of the NHS Confederation, has a contract with the Department to provide advice, guidance and good practice to the National Health Service on workforce issues. This includes advising employers across the NHS in England on what they need to do to prevent discrimination against whistleblowers.

The Department is not aware of whistleblowers seeking employment with NHS Employers.
