Junior doctors' views on reporting concerns about patient safety: a qualitative study.

Hooper P, Kocman D, Carr S, Tarrant C. Postgrad Med J. 2015;91:251-256.

Junior doctors at a British hospital reported a willingness to help improve safety by reporting concerns, but described several barriers to doing so. These included an overall lack of a culture of safety, a cumbersome reporting process, and insufficient role modeling by more senior physicians.
