Whistleblower Reveals Safety Failures at Glasgow Hospital
Dr. Christine Peters testifies to ongoing risks and a culture of secrecy at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
- Dr. Christine Peters, a consultant microbiologist, reported serious safety concerns at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) in Glasgow, including air quality and water contamination issues.
- Peters described a culture of intimidation and secrecy, where she was belittled and advised not to document concerns to avoid future inquiries.
- The inquiry is investigating the construction and safety of the QEUH campus following deaths linked to infections, including 10-year-old Milly Main.
- Despite repeated attempts to raise alarms since 2014, Peters faced resistance from hospital management, who dismissed her concerns and criticized her communication style.
- Recent issues at the hospital include burst plumbing, leaks, and falling ceiling parts, with Peters warning that these defects continue to pose risks to vulnerable patients.
