So many families have said they want lessons to be learned. Its really important we learn and rectify. I agree with you.

I learnt most from my patients. My mistakes taught me some very hard lessons. Those I was most embarrassed about were the ones my patients forgave me for and from which I learnt most. Those I got sued for were minor and I learnt nothing, except it's annoying to be sued.

Sometimes, if you make a mistake, patients can see how much you are hurt by it and they are then very forgiving.

I'd have loved for us to have been given that choice. We'd have forgiven. No question - we're all human. There would've been no complaint, no lawyers, no police and treatment to correct life-threatening error would've been prompt. Alas, it was covered up.

Cover ups will now start immediately. If harm or death occurred I or a Colleague may end up in Court, so why not turn a blind eye or anonymise everything so much that no learning for systems improvement can happen?

Did you seriously just write that? You have 10,000 followers who listen to what you have to say. Their actions may be guided by your words. I expect more of you Gordon. Stop it. That doesn't help

That is a real concern Be open and honest = made a scapegoat Today meeting Trust QC he asked me something I didn't know - so I went back to labs + found an error that only I saw + that will affect case He now knows Staying quiet would have been so much easier Some will now

Who has the power to do this scapegoating, if it also applies to you as a consultant? And how do we take it back from them? Docs have showed this week you have enormous strength in numbers, so why has that power not been utilised to stop the practice, instead of threaten candour?

Letting the GMC have a second swipe at doctors is a regulatory failing.pic.twitter.com/gCnMcEGPPJ

I don't agree. It's neither a second swipe at doctors nor a regulatory failure on GMC's part, imho. The assertion is that the regulatory failure was to be found in MPTS's flawed decision and the High Court agreed.
