In this episode of Stories of Safety, we sit down with Shaun Lintern, Health Editor of The Sunday Times, to explore the vital role of investigative journalism in uncovering systemic failures in healthcare.
Lintern shares his journey as a journalist, the ethical challenges of reporting sensitive
stories, and the impact journalism can have on public perception and policy. We take a deep dive into his pivotal role in exposing the Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust scandal,
the importance of listening to patient and family experiences, and the lessons learned from the public inquiry that followed. Lintern also reflects on the sodium valproate scandal, drawing parallels to past medical failures and the ongoing fight for justice.
Beyond investigations, we discuss the delicate balance between holding healthcare institutions accountable and recognising the dedication of frontline professionals. Lintern highlights the need for greater transparency in healthcare reporting and the challenges journalists face in accessing information.
