My memory is that we were actively discouraged from attending (unlike the nursing team who made sure there was someone there everyday). Also wouldn’t have been possible to take 4 weeks away from floor
-
I think my concern is people expressing such firm views as if fact, when none outside the case have access to the whole picture. They actively discouraged you from attending? Wonder why? My money would be on them not wanting the consultant's testimony scrutinising by colleagues.
-
It just feels like the whole focus is wrong: I can’t see that anything changes as a result of this whole tragedy. Don’t think it would stop similar happening again.
-
Agreed. For one thing I think glaring cover up of the consultant's culpability has confused matters, but also there are 2 broader & competing agendas circling this case: Pts want a means to hold doctors to account and doctors don't want that to happen. Jack's too easily forgotten
-
Jack is not forgotten. His legacy should be a safer nhs in which someone like him has a chance to live. Sadly, focussing on one doctor means a scapegoat has been found and no further changes are needed, so another Jack will die.

Yes, the legacy of every such death should be reduced risk for patients that follow. But it rarely is, as learning is commonly lost because of the huge prevalence of NHS cover ups. This
#learnnotblame mantra quite frankly has no credibility when clinicians constantly avoid both. -
There is really no system in place like CEPOD or the Maternal Deaths Inquiry for general medicine and one is required
-
I wouldn't disagree, but whatever is put in place, it still requires honest input to produce meaningful learning. To be clear, I don't blame clinicians for honest (non grossly negligent) clinical errors - we're all human. But the moment candour turns to cover up, I blame heavily.

The GMC no longer represents doctors no taxation without representation
-
That sounds more like a slogan than a point? Believe it or not, the public expect the GMC to represent patients too. And we pay a far higher price than taxation in exchange for little more than stonewalling most often.
-
GMC exist for the safety of patients and it’s always been a head scratcher to me that they’re funded primarily by doctors.
-
And the NMC is funded by nurses...
-
And we call it regulation...

Yes. And from my legal studies.

I can already see mention of your legal studies from your profile. So which was it? You have a transcript? Or you attended court? I've been eager to find either example for some time.
