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.

No-one enforces guidelines They're guidelines, not laws nor regulationspic.twitter.com/gUqGBfyNTp

As well you know GMC can be harsh on those of our tinted brethren who do not follow the guidelines ' Guide o me my GMC I am weak but thou art mighty."

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.

That should've said *another* dark side...

Clinician's being protected by GMC is not a concept with which I am familiar

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.

I may take you up on that one day if it's something that would be of interest to you? Can't be every day that somebody claims to have documentary evidence of a criminal assault I suppose. And if GMC won't act on such as that, then imagine what else they must 'overlook'.
