It is my strong believe that @gmcuk’s actions will do untold damage to patient safety by fostering fear & distress among junior doctors, plus forcing us into refusing to work in conditions of unsafe staffing, for fear of prosecution. Truly appalling when rota gaps rife.https://twitter.com/shaunlintern/status/956477513680719872 …

Replying to @doctor_oxford @gmcuk
I do appreciate there's a lot involved in this case, but do you really think GMC are wrong to assert that a doctor convicted of gross negligent manslaughter should not be allowed to continue? Making the case that it won't damage public confidence would seem challenging.

I think that is a reasonable point, and one that the GMC made at the MPTS (the independent arbiter) hearing. The MPTS felt on balance that the arguments for suspension outweighed those of erasure.

Whilst so understand the point you're making, I'm not sure it's so different from a patient taking issue with an 'independent' decision of the PHSO and taking them to judicial review. Is this not about recognising the court's decision as being superior to any MPTS has made?
