NHS: 'We all make mistakes'
With the NHS under strain, some doctors fear their professional body will not defend them
The pressure on the NHS, which peaked early last month, appears to be continuing. Adding to this strain, according to many staff, is the fear that if they make a mistake, their professional bodies will not protect them.
Recently, a doctor, Hadiza Bawa-Garba, was struck off the medical register following mistakes she made when treating a child who died. The General Medical Council brought the case against her. But thousands of doctors have signed a letter arguing against the decision, and some are now calling for a boycott of the GMC.
