Decriminalisation of "human" medical errors should be vigorously sought in hand with building a platform of healthcare safety that takes into account all the complexities that lead to such errors. The GMC can only regulate a doctor's performance but not culpability in regards to poor outcome as Dr Bawa-garba's case demonstrates and the opposite is also true. The GMC must not react to a court verdict on an isolated case to judge a doctor's performance. It is a very fine line that the GMC has unwittingly crossed. All that needs to be done is declare all the changes that were implemented in that hospital in the aftermath to encompass the true extent of culpability in this tragic for all incident.

She is not a mind reader and could not read the persons mind who gave her a drug which she did not want given. Also when arriving at an arrest, the person is already dead. So she did not cause this at all. It will make anyone think twice about resusitating anyone.
I am so glad I left medicine when revalidation came in. The writing was on the wall then regarding the persicution of doctors. I have told my children to never be a doctor as you will just be taken advantage of.

When she did nothing wrong but her best, which like the rest of will occasionally include errors, particularly if horrendously overworked.

Dr Bawa-Garba should not have been scapegoated in this appalling manner. It's just prompting more good doctors to look abroad or to other professions for work. I personally stepped off the paediatric training scheme as I feared the pressure of the system would eventually cause me to make minor errors which could add up and be fatal. Any junior doctor working in the NHS could easily find them self in a very similar position.

The judgement is unjust as the systemic failures should be taken into account and does nothing to protect the public going forwards. A sad outcome all round - scapegoating a competant doctor, particularly in the context of low morale, lack of resources & recruitment issues.

I don't understand what was the purpose of the oncall consultant at the time if he did not have ownership of his patient or his department?! What about the Trust? How much workload was thrown at the trainee doctor? Was that reasonable? If not, what did the oncall consultant and MANAGERS do to circumvent such tragedy?
Why should doctors pay for GMC if the GMC will appeal to struck them off?!

The GMC scapegoating genuine, honest medics won't do anything for public confidence. If the coalface medical workforce think the regulatory powers are an ass, how will persecuting someone trying to do their best, despite the best efforts of NHS policy-makers and pen-pushers conspiring against them, lead to increased safety for patients? The only message this gives to trainees is a double helping of manure. Try to help the NHS at your peril. If someone on your team is off sick, best to call in sick too as the stress is likely to get you anyway. Let someone else, namely the named consultant, take the gamble. Keep your head down, jump through the hoops, tick those boxes get your CCT and then vote with your feet to a country that recognises your in-demand talents, and supports your efforts. Best of luck, there's a whole world waiting out there.
