Whistleblower in NHS paediatric medicine

As if the date in red by Consultant wasn’t really written in 2021 rather than 2019….I mean who makes errors on dates writing years ahead …????

I want to honour David Hencke.

I know David was so much more than a journalist – a loving husband and father – but what a journalist he was. It was a privilege to have known him over the last five years.

Reading the Guardian's obituary, I realised I hadn't known the half of what he had achieved in Westminster. From exposing the cash-for-questions scandal to holding those in power to account for decades, his work changed public life in this country.

Our paths crossed when David attended and reported every day of my 10-day whistleblowing Employment Tribunal in June 2022. His account - read by many doctors - can be seen on the below link.

David understood instinctively why whistleblowing matters and why those with power must be held to account. He gave his time, his attention and, above all, his integrity. My wife and I are hugely grateful that David chose to follow and document our journey.

Our society desperately needs people - and journalists - like David. He pursued the truth without fear or favour, often on behalf of people who had little power of their own.

They don't make journalists like David Hencke anymore, and the world is poorer for his passing.

Rest in peace, David.

The press can’t publish this photo so I will. I watched the agony in Caitlin’s eyes as her bowel ruptured. I’d been telling medics my worries & wasn’t heard. I told her it was okay to die if living was too hard. She survived, at a devastating cost. #NUH #Ockenden #SecondaryVictim

@democracycoma1_ @medicalmodelbri @DrHWazir I was working at 60% full time equivalent at st 8 and making about £24k per year ….(was dr for 16 years at that time)…

[Burnt Toast @Burnt2020]

Health correspondents can shape the public narrative around issues like waiting lists, lack of access to specialist care, and the politically inspired destruction of the NHS. Interesting how a story about the lack of senior doctors in the NHS is laced with antidoctor propaganda.

@bells_inthecity @NewstalkFM Or leave that can’t be sold/ownership can’t be passed on & plan to demolish it on their dead

[Workplace Mental Health Resources @Stopworkplacebu]

Nothing says “toxic workplace” quite like punishing employees who actually care enough to be honest about the problems at work

[Whistleblower in NHS paediatric medicine @WBpaeds]

@Coloursofthewi6 @legalmarkmc Yes ….tiny tiny tiny guilt ..says it all!

[Dr Sandeep Bansal @iDrSunny]

Confirming that the clinical director of paediatrics in the Royal Surrey is a nurse consultant

How did a nurse become medically trained to an F1 level let alone consultant?

How are RCPCH and NMC and GMC remotely okay with this?

Imagine being a paediatric trainee and being interviewed by a nurse

I'm sure they are a great nurse

But at what point and how did they get even the level of knowledge that would enable them to pass 1st year medical school exams?

[JeanJeannie @Jean_Jeannie1]

@medicalmodelbri @wesstreeting So, she's now on 2 registers but potentially not accountable to any. Total chaos!

This isn't innovative, safe healthcare, it's a culture based on career desires where a rotten system is allowing people to live out a fantasy of pretending to be a Dr as though it's their right

@EmployRightsIE What percentage are without passports -any statistics published ? What airlines are flying passengers into Ireland without a passport - any data on this ? If board a flight with a passport & dispose on arrival is it not possible that this can be picked up by border control ?

[Whistleblower in NHS paediatric medicine @WBpaeds]

@Laura3153570107 @TheGriftReport So sorry …the lies too & no accountability

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

@glurcher @ChelwestFT @GreatOrmondSt @CareQualityComm @wesstreeting Indeed. But they have to be discovered and exposed and sadly even then I have seen v little in the way of consequence for breaching duty of candour. In my opinion it is routinely breached with no action.

@ShaunLintern @GreatOrmondSt Was work/operation planning not involving a multi-disciplinary team ?

@ShaunLintern @GreatOrmondSt I would like to see more analysis of why a UK trained surgeon with an apparently impeccable CV was apparently unable to do the job competently
