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.2 replies 4 retweets 3 likes -
#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?6 replies 1 retweet 6 likes -

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*. Forgive me taking the lazy option, but it's a lot to have to re-type:https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/1029303542685814789?s=21 …John Clarke added,

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.

She would have needed time and courage to whistleblow during in her double shift whilst doing the work of several people at once, you are unreasonably expecting her and others to be superhuman and in so doing making more tragedies more likely

#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. >>5 replies 2 retweets 3 likes -

>> And as for your bizarre claim that I unreasonably expected her to blow the whistle and am somehow 'making more tragedies more likely' as a result, can you point to where I've suggested that? (Spoiler alert - I haven't) Did you read my letter above?

No I didn't say you expected her to blow the whistle. I pointed out that her options were to stay and do the work or blow the whistle accepting the consequences. Another option would be to go off sick. These real, stark and impossible choices face frontline NHS staff daily

Your unreasonable expectation I was talking about is that of expecting her and others to be superhuman and not making mistakes in these circumstances. To err is human

To be clear (as I always am on this matter) I don't expect anyone to get punished for honest error. You'd know that if you'd read my letter. But are you able to list her 21/22 truly exceptionally bad errors? Do you have the trial transcript? How do you know what you're defending?
