Portugal’s abusive and silence compliance culture: the NHS
& Mental Health
In Portugal there’s a pervasive culture of punishing,
scapegoating or, preferably “killing the messenger” (i.e the critical voices)
in civil service.
Positions of all levels in civil service were for the most
part acquired by personal and political favours. Hence: no merit, no true
public service, none evaluation.
You need it? You get as it is and it’s a “take it or leave
it” situation.
Public and patient’s empowerment are words lost for content
and practice.
As far as mental health, broadly considered, is concerned we suggest you to have a look at
the WHO - EU office's guidelines in
PS - More to follow soon.
