The Locked up Living Podcast: Surviving and thriving in prisons and other challenging environments

154. Dr Peter Duffy.Whistleblowing and retaliation in the NHS


Listen Later

Peter Duffy is a very honest and straight talking man. Since this conversation he has retired from his job in the Isle of Man and the NHS. What a tragic loss. But this, often painful, conversation, tells why he thinks now is the time.

Dr Peter Duffy is a consultant Urological surgeon.  He was lead clinician of the department in Morecambe Bay Trust from 2003 and in about 2008 they won a major national award for the quality and efficiency of this speciality service.  He began to be concerned about the direction of the Trust and eventually stood down from his position as lead clinician and was eventually unfairly dismissed in 2016 after having just won the Trust’s doctor of the year award!

As a whistleblower, it proved impossible to find work in the UK’s NHS and he took up a job on the Isle of Man in early 2017.  In 2018 I won my case for unfair constructive dismissal in the Manchester Employment Tribunal.

In 2020 – 2021 we had the COVID pandemic, which almost completely separated him from his family for some 18 months as a result of the Manx lockdown.  During this period, he was awarded an MBE for his work with the COVID +ve cases on the island.
