General reaction from clinicians to the #BawaGarba case:
'If you're going to prosecute us, we're going to cover up more. These are unintended consequences.'
General reaction from NHS complainants:
'And? You've been doing that for decades anyway. Nothing unintended about it.'
"...could arise in a truly one-off case where the registrant showed truly exceptional insight and remediation such as where someone self-referred, apologised and fully recognised their failings and personal responsibility. Dr. Bawa-Garba was not a truly exceptional doctor."

"But Dr Bawa-Garba had limited insight by comparison with those who self-referred, admitted their fault, apologised, did not blame others or systems but instead accepted personal responsibility" >Without a transcript, it's hard to make a personal judgement. But this was theirs.

Was that the high court ruling? Persuaded by lawyers for GMC. Like a discount for early plea goes against those who want to try to clear their name. Rarely is there true credit for falling on a sword

Again, that goes completely against advice in a criminal trial. It is impossible to meet professional those obligations during a criminal process. Nor should that then be used against them

If a murderer confessed in a state of shocked reflection immediately after committing the crime, would you have the courts rule that evidence inadmissible too? The courts can still judge the relevance. I'm not pretending to have all the answers here, but I'm searching for them.

She isn’t a murderer. That requires intent

I never suggested otherwise. Pick a crime. The point is a generic one.

Without caution to police would be inadmissible. To other person they would be called as witness and it’s whether they are credible

1/2 Been thinking about this - took me a while to find the thread again! I don't think the right to remain silent and an individual statutory duty of candour would be incompatible on reflection. Assuming we agree that anyone guilty of actual gross negligence should be prosecuted?
-
2/2 Where someone has committed such a criminal act, they would then have a choice: 1. Be candid & risk prosecution for gross negligence 2. Remain silent & risk prosecution for failure of stat duty if proven (likely by others around also with a stat duty to be candid about you).
