With that in mind training in most specialities has tightened in recognition of historical ‘get on with it’ attitudes that placed both patients and trainees at risk.

Novice is such because don’t yet have experience to fully assess their own blind spots and knowledge gaps, so may proceed not fully aware of risks or possible solutions.

Those responsible for training and any certification in
#BawaGarba notably not speaking up or addressing the manslaughter failings. Or not identifying themselves. Does completing over 5 years of paediatrics in England really leave the doctor a novice? In all those failings?1 reply 1 retweet 3 likes -

If not still novice at 5 years, why is training minimum 7 years? And see new RCPCH training curriculum, formalises more structured approach to competencies. Dr BG was only just started in what now the final 3-year stage, and still had long way to go https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/education/training/rcpch-progress-curriculum …

I don't know why 7y. In Australia, you'd suspect it's empire building and to limit competition. Dr
#bawagarba also had a science degree. The manslaughter failings: ? a week to master, 6 months to recognise/see enough blue comatose children? If 5y is worthless, ok.2 replies 3 retweets 0 likes -

If you're talking
#BawaGarba what is it about that woman consultant who went to Dr BG 3 times that her skills are ignored? Is it that only a male is worth consulting, only a man can rescue the mess the women are in? Too busy? Even Dr BG didn't claim that.1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes -

If - as a GP - I knowingly left an agency nurse and a (just back from mat leave) junior doctor in charge, covering double the usual workload, and relying on a broken computer, it’d be *me* done for manslaughter. I suspect this is as it should be.

FWIW I actually agree with
@C7RKY that blanket exempting doctors from GNM (or any other part of the law, tbh) would be a really dangerous step. But I think there is probably useful work to do - eg round shared responsibilities, CPS guidance and how courts treat expert evidence.2 replies 2 retweets 2 likes
I'm actually v nervous about the proposals around expert witnesses. I'll await detailed information, but I'm concerned by it. More on that later no doubt...
