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

      No doctor wants "immunity" from anything We wake up every morning & have sleepless nights because we have dedicated ourselves to patient safety! What we want is a system that is safe The current system is NOT safe for patients And we are forced to take the blame It is not right

      Replying to @aislinnmacklin @KenZeroHarm and

      Everybody wants a system that's safe. The only debate there is who is preventing progress. But current efforts are very much themed around uniquely securing immunity from GNM prosecution for doctors imho. Something I, as a member of the public, find to be objectionable frankly.

          The distinction is doctors who intentionally set out to do harm and those that might do harm in the course of providing care to the best of their ability. The former should rightly be prosecuted. The latter need a more compassionate approach even if there are sanctions.

          Sorry, but that's part of the myth that's built up since the #BawaGarba propaganda machine kicked in (belatedly). GNM doesn't require intent - that would make it murder. Manslaughter charges exist to recognise just such a lack of intent where gross negligence proves to be deadly.

          #BawaGarba showed a multitude of systems failures - understaffing of Medical & Nursing staff, no supervision, no induction, a blood reporting system failure there was no accountability or corporate manslaughter charge for the trust. As the NHS squeeze worsens, will this continue?

          I'm familiar with the details, yes. I also know that the jury found #BawaGarba's acts/omissions to be truly, exceptionally bad (& thus grossly negligent) even *in all the circumstances*.

          Many court findings have subsequently been found to be inappropriate. Her care was not as found "truly exceptionally bad" but an unsurprising result of such a flawed and unsafe system. Had she pointed that out she would have been persecuted like Dr Day and other whistleblowers.

          #BawaGarba is a convicted criminal who has been refused leave to appeal - twice - by the same judge who overturned David Sellu's conviction and raised the legal bar to 'truly exceptionally bad' for future cases. So yes, her care was exactly as found, despite your assertion. >>

          Dr Bawa Garba was scapegoated by an unfair overstretched system. She was doing the work of several doctors. It could have been any of us in that situation that day. She escalated Jack appropriately to her consultant who neglected to review him and got off scott free. (1)

          These are valid points John, and GNM will remain on statute. However: : how many NHS organisations which have caused untold patient harms (Stafford, Leicester) have faced corporate manslaughter charges? How many Medical directors referred to GMC for allowing understaffing?.
