URGENT - if you know any doctors whose licence to practice has been subjected to GMC Conditions, Suspension or Erasure, prior to 2001, please contact me urgently.
The GMC has admitted in open court that they used Predeterminations in cases prior to 2001, when computers were introduced. In other words, the panel Chairman decided the verdict before the hearing took place and by consequence, whatever happened in the hearing was, therefore irrelevant. You might as well have sung the National Anthem
This does not mean that they do not still decide the verdict in advance, it is just harder to prove.
Prior to 2001, the Predetermined Verdict was placed in the accused file. You need to get a Subject access request and then get a copy of your file from the GMC.
The High Court takes a dim view of Predeterminations. Justice Forbes does not like to see the legal process brought into disrepute.
If you know anyone who has had a run in with the GMC prior to 2001, please get in touch urgently at Liz@moodmapping.com Time is not on your side because the decision to allow such cases to be appealed was made in June 2009 and the clock is ticking

Lions led by Donkeys - the modern NHS healthcare worker
Where the troops died in the trenches of WW1 and Britain stood alone against Europe, patients now die in the beds of the NHS
The NHS was set up to provide medical care for the working people of this country. Its purpose, to help people recover from illness without being concerned about medical bills and get back to work. The NHS has become the largest bureaucracy in Europe and the third largest in the world. Equally, the welfare state was set up to protect people from the worst effects of poverty. The Welfare State has mutated into Social Services (the SS) and has also developed a life of its own.
Worse, as a self serving bureaucracy, the NHS has been infiltrated, if not strangled by management consultants.
The NHS spends at least £350 million a year on Management Consultants or Consultoids (I use the term Consultoids, because in the NHS, the term Consultant has a different meaning.) Of the £350 million, at least £273 million was on projects unrelated in any shape or form to patient services. Management Consultoids damage the NHS in the following way
1 - Money spent on Management Consultoids, is not spent on NHS patients or staff 2 - Real NHS management is dumbed down, because the interesting and challenging jobs go to outsiders 3 - A nasty web of paid for political contacts is built up 4 - Management Consultoid culture infects NHS service ideals 5 - No one is accountable. Once a Management Consultoid has finished the project, he or she is off, clutching their pay check bonus and slip for promotion
Management Consultoids have brought a JP Morgan, DeLoitte or KPMG culture into NHS management, where "drive, ambition and potential" matter more than the ability to do the job.
Now as an NHS manager, it no longer matters how you do your job, or whether you do your job only that you are seen to display "drive, ambition and potential". What was long suspected, was made clear in a recent article in the (Health Service Journal Click here)
Senior NHS managers are laying themselves open to accusations of lack of commitment by “job hopping”, according to Royal College of Nursing chief executive Peter Carter. He went on to say that there are “copious examples of where criticism [of managers] is deserved”. Part of the blame lay in the “huge turnover and lack of commitment” among senior NHS managers.
The comments on this article were as interesting as the article
At best they report "I would have been delighted to stay in one post, but not only are there glass ceilings, I was the subject of re-organisation constantly. In the end, if there is no organisational loyalty to the indivdual, it becomes evident by churn"
At worst "If you don't move every couple of years you are seen as lacking drive and ambition! And you can always say you were responsible for some initiative or another (even if you didn't start or see it through)".
What purpose does Job Hopping serve? What common nebulous self serving framework does is suggest? is it ok to make mistakes as long as you are not bothered by them? does it doesn't matter if you don't know what you are doing? can you lead without authority as long as no one notices? work in a non-job as long as you bring a sufficiently bizarre set of values? including tying your son to an anchor rope on a boat; are overpaid and you get promoted well above your ability. Sounds like the blueprint of a lot of modern NHS Management.
The Common Porpoises' (read more - click here) purpose is becoming more extreme as it insinuates itself widely into bureaucracy. Whilst other sea mammals are suffering the effects of environomental pollution and fishing, the Common Porpoise seems able and with purpose to swim into the power vacuum created by the extinction of more natural sea creatures.
The result of being able to Lead Without Authority is shown in the photo where the Porpoise leads the trusting and now rare dolphins into a trap it set earlier. Click here for more information about the extent of the Common Porpoise infiltration into daily life.
The Common Porpoise or The Purpose of Leading without Authority is different from, for example dolphins, because it lacks a fine and sensitive nose. The Common Porpoise is also dumb, lacking the dolphins' compassion, songs and language that dolphins use to help and heal humans in distress. Click here for more information about Dolphins
The Common Porpoise has, with purpose, come into our lives is seen because its picture is on a Twenty Pound Note, which shows its attachment to our money. The new Twenty Pound note symbolises its take over of government.
Whether this is an accident or done on porpoise needs more research. Doctor Bloggs is currently searching for links between the Common Porpoise and the Nasty Gnome Party
Have you noticed nothing works anymore? The hospital service is all but destroyed, the school system in ruins and the legal system corrupt. The councils are inefficient and the country so bound in up red tape that you need special permission to exercise even simple liberties such as seeing a doctor.
The secret work of the Nasty Gnome Party can be found everywhere. For the last fifty years, Britain has faced a hidden threat, bent on the destruction of Britain, by destroying British values, British democracy and everything decent in this country.
Nowadays everything is allowed as long as you personally have something to gain. You can do anything from swindling expenses, acquiring a large pension, and putting other people lives at risk. If you can show that you personally made a profit, you are beyond the law!
On the other hand, if you express any ideology apart from greed and self interest, for example, if you help someone else without charging them, if you look for the truth in science, politics, management and service, at best, you will find your career destroyed, at worst, like Dreyfuss you will find yourself in prison for twenty years for a crime you did not commit.
Doctor Bloggs and other UK bloggers have recently noticed the extent of this threat Click here for further information from our informants
Doctor Bloggs documents the Nasty Gnome Party's (NGP) first official visit to Britain. The NGP is here to contact collaborators already working for them and to assess the state of the Britain first hand. The Nasty Gnome Party is putting the final touches to its plan UK Operation Takeover
Over the coming weeks and months you will find out whether the modest heroes of Britain who saved Europe from fascism in two World Wars, can again keep Britain safe and rescue the world from a totalitarian dictatorship.

Few people can have been unaffected by the news of the psychiatrist turning on his patients in the military base in the US. It has wide implications and this is the best analysis I have read Click here for a direct link
This article follows the news of the major shooting in American largest military base by the army psychiatrist Dr Nidal Malik Hasan who was known to be a risk and held extreme religious views. It was political correctness which led to the risks being ignored in allowing him to work in US military base. Dr Nidal Malik Hasan was not able to treat his patients while keeping his own belief system intact.
Bright draws attention to the impact of underlying belief systems on the behaviour of doctors. Now Medical students are brought up to fear the General Medical Council and Trust managers instead of loving and enjoying life. They are growing up in a culture where reaching targets matters more than saving lives.
I was brought up in the days when the needs of the patient came first, regardless of any personal cost. The results were not always as good as you wanted but strong beliefs that you were doing the best you could for that patient generally saw you through.
Bright shows the serious consequences of conflicts in belief systems. We will never know exactly what triggered Nidal Malik Hasan's attack on those around him, what combination of racism, religion, war sentiment and distress led him to pull the trigger but it is time for each one of us to see where we stand. We cannot have one set of beliefs for our day job and another for our home life. The conflict is unsustainable and the results unpredictable
I love this video - and lets learn from our transatlantic cousins!! Handwashing applies as much in the GPs surgery as in the hospital - Before your doctor examines you or your child, they should wash their hands!!

I feel enormously grateful to be where I am today. Because of my experiences, I want to change the way we think about and manage our physical and psychological health.
The word 'doctor' originally meant teacher, so I take both my vocations seriously ;-) and finally last but not least to have fun whilst doing all of the above.
As far as medicine is concerned - I am fascinated by people, the human psyche and human body, remembering that the mind and body are inseparable
I work in General Practice and Occupational health both of which I enjoy
Favorite sayings: "Difficult problems are not solved by an easy life"
"It is only an obsession, let it go"
and did I say I am Mind Mental Health Champion 2008 www.mind.org.uk - thanks to everyone for your support!
I have written a book on "extreme self help" called Mood Mapping
