Dr Rebecca Lewis DAUK General Secretary on Radio4 on Dominic Cummings: “We've all seen our patients go through the most unimaginable things in the last few months. And we've all had to make difficult decisions when going to work about child care and what we should do if we get sick. We don't have this option to go to second homes and go to get this extra help.”
Dr Katie Sanderson in a BBC interview this morning called for candour about PPE and the reasons behind changes in guidance. She also outlined 3 other issues for frontline staff that need the Government's reassurance.
Last week, Dr Samantha Batt-Rawden Chair of The Doctors’ Association UK interviewed Charlie Massey as part of a documentary on why doctors are leaving the NHS. The episode was presented by Sammy on BBC Radio 4.
For the first time Charlie Massey publicly stated that his decision to appeal the fitness to practice (MPTS) verdict, and pursue Dr Bawa-Garba in the High Court was wrong.
The GMC's chief executive has admitted the legal advice the regulator received during the Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba case was wrong and if the same case were to take place now he would not try to have a doctor barred from practice.
Charlie Massey said he 'completely accepts' the legal advice he was given to pursue the striking off of Dr Bawa-Garba - who was convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence following the death of a six-year-old patient - was 'not correct'.
