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 telling1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

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 system1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @MDMarikar @etxberria55 and
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.

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 …
