4.	Description	Abstract	"Whistle-blowing" can be defined as speaking out about sub-standard practice or flawed systems which put patients at risk of harm. It has become a vital aspect of doctor-patient trust and much is written about the duties of all doctors to minimise risk and improve the safety of patient care. This includes monitoring colleagues` performance and alerting the colleague (or if necessary the regulatory authority) when errors or signs of incompetence occur.
