This is how I feel following the #BawaGarba finding:
1) You’re employer will scapegoat you for systemic failures.
2) Your seniors will throw you under the bus.
3) Reflective practice will land you in trouble.
How the @gmcuk think this is good for patients is beyond me.
What legislation is that you're thinking of? This is what the LAW currently says about a clinician's responsibility to be candid when things go wrong. Patients want the system fixed AND not to be lied to. This isn't an either/or argument.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/937834344336457728 …

Are we talking in about the same thing? You’re on about the Duty of Candour. I’m talking about how gross negligence manslaughter legislation is applied to healthcare professionals in high risk roles...
-
We are. I would suggest a lack of candour is what leads the majority of families to head for the courts and pursue such charges. And I think there will likely be more cases ahead unless we get this candour issue sorted out. It's been a blight on the medical world for decades.

Agree with you there. Also creates rifts within the medical profession itself.
-
That's an interesting observation. Creates a rift how?
-
The destruction that the minority can cause is disproportionate. Risks trainees tarring all seniors with the same brush.
-
Why trainees? Shouldn't everybody be speaking up if something is amiss? Consultants AND trainees? And let's not forget, the senior in this case has inexplicably got off unscathed - so far. The brush didn't tar very high up the pecking order in this
#BawaGarba case, it seems? -
Everyone should be speaking up, but hierarchies do exist and if your boss isn’t one to support you’re a but stick eh? Your clinical supervisor has a lot of power with respect to ARCP progression.
