Abstract

Raising concerns is a fundamental responsibility of professional medical practice1 and plays an important role in ensuring patient, trainee, staff and organisational safety. The Francis Report2 and Bawa-Garba case highlight the importance of trainees being empowered to raise concerns. Medical undergraduates are doctors in training. Education and training around raising concerns is a vital part of their professional development. Medical clinical educators (MCE) also act as role models for their students. There are occasions when MCE act unprofessionally. Anecdotal evidence suggests that there are barriers to medical students raising concerns in such instances. Very little is published about these perceived barriers. Lastly, there is little published experience around supporting undergraduate clinical educators dealing with concerns raised about them.
