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

      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.

      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.

      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.

          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?

          Indeed. Still so much to be answered there. And a lack of convictions would be inconceivable - even if they are nearly 20yrs too late. Makes Shipman look small scale...https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/1023009341266452480?s=21 …

          From this same judgement you've screenshot both parties don't dispute that Hadiza's errors were not made deliberately or recklessly and mention is made from the criminal trial that "Nor were they, as Nicol J had said, the result of laziness or selfishness"

          That has no bearing on her conviction for gross negligence manslaughter. It's not self serving for doctors to see themselves in Hadiza and how close they could came to a similar tragedy. We don't know how adequately all factors were covered in her trial..

          Exactly. We don't know. But whatever detail emerged at the inquest which unusually provoked a police investigation, clearly remained compelling enough for a jury to deem her actions 'truly exceptionally bad'. It's a high bar. Few ever clear it. We can't just dismiss that.

          And the reason it appears self serving is because there was barely a whimper from clinicians when BG was convicted of GNM. Nobody seemed to care. Only when she was struck off, did cries of foul emerge. You have no idea how weird that looks to non-HCPs

          I think that’s the crux of the matter here John. I want medics to take collective action and be outraged when patients suffer as a result of systemic failings, provide families with answers and fix what’s gone wrong.

          https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/junior-doctors-round-3/ … This is a good example of exactly that. 4,000 backers on @CrowdJustice but practically ignored by several prominent lay patient safety campaigners. Can't expect NHS staff to speak out if the majority of the public look the other way when they are crushed

          Me too. And none of us have managed to get the 'majority of the public' to back us over *anything*. Most are blissfully ignorant of the alarming NHS reality that vexes us all. 'Prominent patient safety campaigners' I'd expect to be more vocal though. No blissful ignorance there.
