"I don't think she will ever learn from her lesson" - Nicky Adcock, Jack Adcock's mum, on Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba's appeal against being struck off medical register after the six-year-old's death. Read the full story here: https://trib.al/OzCzRvz pic.twitter.com/4l8NZKhDqK
Or expunge the guilt of those more senior clinicians involved? Everybody seems happy to shout about the system being to blame, but that system is made up of people - like the consultant, for example.

Short doctors and about 60000 nurses but manpower plannins system for 60 yrs

Valid point in isolation, but when the subject is potentially dangerous doctors, complainants are unlikely to be persuaded they should be allowed to continue just because of manpower shortages & 'waste of training' arguments, frankly. Both issues need addressing separately, imho.

And then when a whistleblower like Steve Bolsin brings Bristol down he suddenly carries the mark of Cain

Never mind the mark of Cain, Steve Bolsin would be carrying a chest-full of medals if I had my way. As would the other brave whistleblowers who've stood up and spoken out. My question is; where were all their colleagues? Not that we don't already know the answer to that one...pic.twitter.com/g7YO4t2E6T

I agree whistleblowers get no protection in NHS and career hits the buffers despite one being encouraged to reveal all for the good of the public but the Masons' will have you.

There was a time I would've just laughed at your final point. But after 7 years of this 'NHS forced march' I'm not laughing any more. I know exactly what you mean. Only solution is to do what the docs did in N Ireland - all speak up together. Can't sack everyone at the same time.

Exactly but unity is difficult I am glad to be out of it quite frankly have written enough letters to Directors and to the GMC in my time.

Appreciated. Unity hasn't been so hard to come by in finding support against
#BawaGarba's erasure tho. Inappropriately, imho. But in doing so, clinicians have demonstrated they have the power to provoke review as a group. How that power is/isn't utilised in future will be telling - 8 more replies
