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

    That's an interesting list - esp considering there appears to be complete non-compliance with those guidelines in this case. Have they any weight? Is it like GMC guidelines which one is obliged to account for?

        They don’t carry much weight. I know of one Consultant who had a warning put onto his GMC registration because his flight back from USA was cancelled and he couldn’t get back to be on call. But they are toothless Guidelines...

        Can't say I'm surprised. All professional guidelines are legally unenforceable, so if the professionally body doesn't enforce them, (as is sadly common), then nobody else can.

        I'm of the view that whistleblowers and BME staff are disproportionately targeted in order to contain scandals & make the overall headline sanction figures look defensible. But there's a dark side to that coin. Clinicians from other groups are unreasonably protected by GMC.

        Yes.. I'm mindful of your own experience doc. I wish I weren't familiar with the concept, but I could share the details of our case and you'd perhaps better appreciate my point. Or the experiences of so many others I'd honestly struggle to estimate. Universally despised, the GMC.

        John - that’s one of the reasons why so many medics are concerned about this case. Clear lack of usual expected supervision. Amongst many many other failings that day.

        Taryn - not as concerned as patients are. This is just 1 example of failure to follow a medical guideline. Among many, many other such failures that happen every day all over the UK without a peep from clinicians. And let's remember; the court accounted for mitigation here.pic.twitter.com/NOmDJ4Umyk

        NHS doctors are patients of the NHS too and so are our nearest and dearest. I don’t believe in this “them and us” division. It isn’t the case that there is not a peep from clinicians about individual or system failures. It was the basis for much of the Jr Dr contract debate.

        I know that each NHS professional goes to work each day to do the absolute best they can for patients. What can we do when the system breaks and patients are harmed? That’s the crux of the matter, people are fed up hearing “lessons will be learned “. 1/2

        A dangerous stretch of road needs to be redesigned and rebuilt to become safer but The NHS answer would be to add more warning signs, demand higher speeds, better fuel consumption and fewer accidents but be surprised when it got more accidents and harm. @DrUmeshPrabhu @TheIHI

        When the M25 becomes overcrowded dangerous and queues build up Flow and Safety are improved by making traffic slow down. When hospitals are overcrowded dangerous full of queues and understaffed we are ordered to speed up. Result? #BawaGarba #IsabelAmaro @djnicholl @DrGrumble

        Sure we've done this analogy before Gordon? If someone weaves through traffic at 200mph (reckless) & causes an inevitable fatal pile up, they're culpable despite any 'system' flaws around them. Ever wonder what our analogies sound like? Harsh but true ;-)https://twitter.com/C7RKY/status/1023952713539891202 …

        You can walk right over the top of a drain cover every day and not suspect anything untoward exists underneath. But when somebody lifts the lid and shoves your head in there one day, you never get the smell of sh*t out of your nostrils ever again. Such is the NHS experience.
