Niggling thought of the day:
Why are doctors saying that this week GMC made patients less safe?
Why were patients still safe when #BawaGarba got convicted of gross negligent manslaughter, but we're not now she's been struck off?
Does loss of career hold more fear than conviction?
So you think being convicted of gross negligent manslaughter is tolerable, but being struck off the GMC register isn't? I have to say I find that odd. And what injustice are you referring to? I'm being told the individual charge was fair by clinicians who have read the judgement.

Bit too complex for twitter. Neither is acceptable to me but the prison sentence was suspended so she was allowed to work & continue life.
-
Why is neither acceptable to you? She was convicted of gross negligent manslaughter in court, failed at appeal and has now has a high court ruling against her registration. What do you think should have happened instead?

My understanding is she was off mat leave, left understaffed,unsupervised & IT system down. Made error in presence of team of professionals

I think we're in broad agreement on most of that and I don't think this story has run its course by a country mile yet. Tho I'm led to believe her extreme personal failures still warranted the charge, I think others have questions to answer too.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/957249890018578432 …

I hope you're right. Most of what I read suggests she hasn't committed extreme personal failures. Would make it a miscarriage of justice.

Without a transcript of the original trial (which nobody appears to have paid for yet) we are all short of detail. This seems to be the part where they make the distinction in the High Court ruling >https://twitter.com/C7RKY/status/956631900562624513 …

As no longer subject to active court case details & inadequacies now open to scrutiny. So ppl feel more confident in coming to a conclusion.

Actually, the case is still live. And we don't have an available transcript for the original trial, so many details still remain unknown.https://twitter.com/mps_medical/status/956536054777090048 …

I think ppl also feel particularly offended at GMC pursuing her when another body had disagreed. Docs frightened for themselves & pts.
