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 -
I don't have blind confidence in the judiciary. Has he experience of working in the front line of a dangerous industry? Life/death decisions have to be made instantly which compete with multiple complex decisions- no way to know which is most urgent, important or dangerous.

So you think doctors should only be judged by other doctors? I certainly don't, I'm afraid. Doctors have shown extreme bias over the
#BawaGarba matter, imho. One of the most stark examples of blind confidence I can recall actually. Defending without knowing all the facts.4 replies 1 retweet 0 likes -

No one is even suggesting that. The PSA would still be able to appeal MPT outcomes. MPT has lay persons, lawyers as well as doctors sitting on tribunals. You can still sue your doctor. Where there is an absence of recklessness or wilful neglect GNM is appropriate. Not otherwise.

MPTS have proven themselves to be out of touch with public opinion, imho. Including lay members, who will now likely face increased scrutiny going forward. I think GMC were right to appeal. Don't understand your last point. How would you categorise recklessness/wilful neglect?

#BawaGarba is travesty of#Justice to everyone. System#leaders and consultant escaped.#Juniordoctor scapegoated. Of course she did male mistakes but she was forced to do more errors because of systens failures. System leaders responsible for systems failures@gmcuk0 replies 0 retweets 0 likesThanks.
