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.
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 -
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

In an airplane crash it would be system failure medicine has much to learn from the Swiss Cheese model used in Aviation

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.

Raised with senior staff, management, staffing reported as clinical incidents... for years

Thank you for doing so. But the inaction remained? Who holds them to account for that? Do I recall reading the police were also starting to look at the trust?
