Of course views all mine. All without prejudice. Just a regular chap after all. Oh...and RT's may equally imply ridicule as endorsement.

      You presumably offer that legal opinion based upon your comprehensive study of the original Crown Court trial transcript? (Can we all see it?) Or perhaps you attended the trial in person?

      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.

      Agree. One of the most important issues in paediatrics and we don't have any comprehensive review event to truly learn from it. I've read a refacted serious incident report from Leicester Royal Infirmary and in my opinion it does a poor job of addressing systemic factors

      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.

      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.

          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.

          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

          Yes Hadiza got practical crowdfunding with a great deal of help of whistleblowers @54kdoctors and others. IMO Hadiza's case is related to whistleblowing, in the sense that this is what could happen when you obediently try and work through a dangerous system

          Related to whistleblowing how? I'm not sure I follow your thinking. I'm afraid patients are not viewing this from the same angle. We just see a profession appealing a convicted criminal's erasure & blaming the 'system', despite the court's words. Smacks of self-serving I'm afraidpic.twitter.com/ccaVI4y6A6

          I agree we should learn all we can from all sources. But this crash would never have happened - the pilots wouldn't have remained silent or accepted inaction so the system would've been fixed. Self preservation is best served by speaking up in aviation, but silence in healthcare.

          'A certain bravery'? I think you're being polite. Balls of steel and a moral compass that doesn't flicker no matter what the personal threat faced, would be my take on it. And there's plenty of threat if you do it alone. That's where group power is needed.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/1014248682827415557?s=21 …

          None of us should forget the handful of brave souls who speak out. Those with morals intact - unlike their bank accounts, careers, mental health, etc. Although I did think the tongue-in-cheek point here was that those who stand up, don't get to stay NHS staff for very long?

          And who is responsible for that 'discouragement'? Rhetorical question, because whilst I may not know names, we're both thinking of the same people right now. We know who they are. The question is; how do we remove such people from the NHS? Permanently.

          Sounds like a good start. We have an army of very big brains at our disposal to fix this. And those who stand to lose out from such a fix, probably deserve to do so. We really have to make this happen. People are dying & secondary victims are liberally scattered in the wake.
