Whilst we want to share real stories from professionals and patients we also wish to ensure that the confidentiality of those involved is protected. Please be aware that we may have to edit your story to protect the confidentiality of those involved but we will discuss these edits with you prior to publishing your story on our website. Whilst we may remove names and organisations, it may be useful to include your role and setting, for example, senior nurse, acute hospital.

We want this website to generate debate and discussion but when posting on Twitter and Facebook please ensure that you follow the principles of confidentiality in ensuring that no patients or colleagues are identifiable; we cannot take any responsiblity for content posted on Twitter and Facebook.
