British MP Julian Smith visits NWC

British Member of Parliament Julian Smith (left in photo) today visited Stephen Kohn (right in photo) the Executive Director of the National Whistleblowers Center. Mr. Smith asked for the meeting to discuss how the United Kingdom might benefit from improved laws for whistleblowers and from an advocacy organization like NWC. Mr. Kohn explained how the United States has benefited from the False Claims Act, and has even used that law as a model for reward programs in the Dodd-Frank Act and in the Internal Revenue Service.

I think a lot needs to be done to protect nurses in the US and UK who are often the target in the workplace and then end up under investigation or discipline by the board of nursing.
