Very simply the
@gmcuk tried to argue the criminal courts had precedence over the medical tribunal for striking off#BawaGarba But the Court of Appeal judges clearly state this is wrong. Reinforces what the Supreme Court said in 2016.6 replies 12 retweets 31 likesShow this thread -
"Undoubtedly, there are some cases where the facts are such that the most severe sanction, erasure, is the only proper and reasonable sanction. This is not one of them." Court of Appeal says GMC panel right to consider wider context and systemic failings

This feels significant...Why was a report looking at systemic failings in
#BawaGarba not put before the jury in the original trial and the jury directed to "set aside" feelings the hospital was at fault? It set the dominoes falling...pic.twitter.com/izVXotIyLP

Surely the most pertinent question is why did her defence agree?

Indeed. I cant help but feel this whole debacle started with a poor criminal trial on all sides. She made very serious mistakes and should have been punished at GMC. Convicted of GNM? In the wider context, just doesnt feel right to me.

I don't think any but a select few are in a position to have a view on the criminal conviction tbh. And I think that should change. Immediately.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/1028770578478628865?s=21 …

Problem is: as we've discussed before and as today demonstrates, what was put before the jury at the trial doesn't reflect all the factors. That's why I worry about the reliance on the criminal case as the "truth". That's why I got so scared going to work.

I've yet to go through the judgement tbh, but I'm looking at this from a public interest viewpoint now. We have access to all the mitigation, even if the jury missed out. What we don't have is all the details of the prosecution's case. What about it scared you in particular?

Going to work. It was years before this came to court. That’s not what worried me. It was the constant feeling that you could never work hard enough or stay late enough.

I'm literally aghast that it left you feeling that way. I'm so sorry. Nobody should ever feel that much pressure. Most especially when being asked to care for sick children. I do hope things have improved some for you?
