The outcome is bad for patients however it’s interpreted.

Bad when compared to what? The current situation? Opinions may vary in that one...https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/937819664599670785 …
John Clarke added,
John Clarke @C7RKY#Francis called for a statutory individual duty of candour for doctors. This would make it unlawful to lie to a patient or their family We didn't get it. Instead, we were given a fudged organisational duty of candour. Here's how well that's going. > https://twitter.com/Allyncondon/status/937818531642642432 …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
The waters are muddied. Current legislation places personal professional responsibility ahead of systemic factors. In a resource stretched system where docs ‘do the best they can’, should they then not turn up to work given the risks are high...?

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 …

John Clarke @C7RKYReplying to @willcpowell"..doctors have no duty to give parents of a child who died as a result of their negligence a truthful account of the circumstances of the death, nor even to refrain from deliberately falsifying records." > Sent chills down my spine the first time I read it.

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.
