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

      ZHH This is deeply worrying for all patients! You are looking for “immunity” of some kind? Totally counterproductive. You should be focusing your energies+efforts on proactive #patientsafety Happy to help with that @MattHancock @BillCashMP @JeremyLefroy @SharonHodgsonMP @C7RKY

      Not about immunity and Drs are in no way above the law. MPTS tribunals have legal and lay members deciding on the fitness to practice of doctors. This is about a just culture in the NHS that embraces patient safety. See our #LearnNotBlame campaign!https://www.dauk.org/news/2018/7/24/what-is-learn-not-blame …

      A worthy initiative. But needs to be accompanied by similar to address widespread concerns when patients are harmed. Otherwise as Ken says it may look like immunity for HCPs. Suggest you support @RobBehrens1884 in getting an inquiry which could cover both. Truth & Reconciliation.

      Replying to @NHSwhistleblowr @TheDA_UK and

      I agree David, but the problem is 1000s of patients are being harmed, in quite subtle ways, by HCPs working in a defensive, fearful mindset due to harsh regulation - overinvestigating, overtreating, "just in case", which results in hidden harms. They are just not as visible.

      Exactly Alan. The two problems are inextricably related and need to be dealt with together. Preventing prosecution or GMC sanction will not stop pts/relatives from being aggrieved over lack of candour.

      Replying to @NHSwhistleblowr @TheDA_UK and

      Agree. We are not suggesting prosecution or sanction by regulators should never happen. But we have the equivalent of regulatory 'capital punishment' for mistakes to satisfy media under guise of 'public confidence'. It drives defensive practice, which is always bad for patients.

      I'd also like to point out that public confidence is a critical element in all this. Doctors are keen to be judged by peers, rather than the public. It wasn't media, but the jury that #BawaGarba failed to convince. She failed that test of public confidence, but MPTS know better?

      Replying to @C7RKY @NHSwhistleblowr and

      We are, possibly, the most over-regulated medical profession in the western world. Double/ triple jeopardy. Working in unsafe systems, where a culture of raising concerns can be career-ending. The fact we are losing UK doctors to work overseas is not by chance. Morale gone. Why?

      Replying to @DrAlanWoodall @NHSwhistleblowr and

      Unsafe systems - unacceptable. Raising concerns ending careers - unacceptable. I'll help in any way I can to challenge both. But whilst I can't comment on elsewhere, I can tell you there's nothing over-regulated re UK healthcare. Regulation is as sprawling as it is non-existent.

          Challenge is good to improve #NHS but in current unsafe system honest doctors/nurses are persecuted and lose jobs. Impact on morale and recruitment is palpable, further worsening the crisis. But I have faith in patients’ perception of us. Most think we try and do a good job. IMHO

          I think it's disgraceful that we have permitted an environment to develop where doctors are more afraid of telling the truth when things go wrong, than they are of lying. We need to shift that balance somehow and force out anyone who persecutes those trying to be honest. >>

          Not sure "allowed" is right. Mid Staffs showed how fear determined that. Also promulgation of "good news only" culture from the top. Individuals became isolated and acted out of self-interest. The history has not yet been written.

          It's insidious, I agree, but it didn't happen overnight. Self interest is key there in allowing this to become the norm. Our personal standards aren't what we say they are, they're what we're prepared to accept happening without acting to stop it. Twitter may be the new history?

          Self-interest is universal in humans. Ensures survival. At the same time social co-operation requires honest communication and fellow-feeling. This too is good for us. Not sure about Twitter.

          Self interest may be universal, but a duty of care isn't. That raises the bar of patient expectation that doctors will act in our best interests only, never in their own. Reality tends to come with a Porgy & Bess soundtrack however. 'It ain't necessarily so..'

          Stanford experiment. Decent people can be made to do bad things. No excuse but it is true. Once you get on that road you have to justify it to yourself. Then becomes normalised.

          And don't we know it. All groups are guilty to some degree, but watching such a volume of doctors working their way down threads selectively picking out tweets which suit their confirmation bias is all it takes to see that in action. Public opinion gets overlooked in between.
