GMC, Jane Barton, Andrew Wakefield and the Iraq Inquiry - A good day to bury bad news

GMC takes lessons from Labour
Miss Conduct, Doctor of the Year, Jane Barton (click here) gets off

The New Emperor of the General Medical Council (GMC) Niall Dickson has been found lying naked in front of the TV cameras.

'Our view was the doctor's name should have been erased from the medical register following the panel's finding of serious professional misconduct. We will be carefully reviewing the decision before deciding what further action, if any, may be necessary.'

GMC Panels are carefully selected and their verdicts written a long time in advance. Click here and click here
You mean:


"It was a divisive verdict and I am sorry about that, but if I'm asked whether I believe we're safer and more secure with Dr Jane Barton still on the medical register, I believe that we are. I do not have any regrets about the result, yes I am responsible for instructing the panel but not a single regret. I will do it again'

In the meantime, doctors like Dr Andrew Wakefield, who ask questions or worse still whistleblow get struck off (click here).

Niall, are you are sitting on another Shipman? There are some interesting coparisons, not least that both were brought before the GMC and let off. Because, if Dr Jane Barton is another Shipman, as surely as Tony Blair will be charged with war crimes, you will be charged as an accessory to murder.

Dr Jane Barton is Crowned Miss Conduct GMC 2010

STOP PRESS

Dr Niall Dickson crowns Dr Jane Barton as the New GMC Miss Conduct beauty queen for 2010. To choose his Queen this early in the year, Dr Niall Dickson does not expect any serious competition to follow in her wake(s).

Indeed, we know very little about Dr Jane Barton, her family, her childhood in Guernsey, and why, like her father and brother Professor Christopher Bulstrode, she was inspired to be a doctor. Dr Jane Barton is a bold choice and a dark horse. With trouble looming for the GMC later in the year, Dr Niall Dickson has played his joker early.

British Medicine is as faulty as the GMC. Shipman was an iconic figurehead for the NHS. Death is the quick and easy solution. But death on the NHS is no longer a cheap option. We spend as much as the rest as Europe on healthcare but less on the elderly - who are normally the most expensive part of any healthcare budget. Where is the money going? not on patients but on a bureaucracy of "Health Care Professionals" and their controllers. Save money using the Liverpool Care Pathway or the Guernsey Care Pathway.

Predeterminations - The GMC expects every panel to do its bidding

"We are surprised by the decision to apply conditions in this case.

Our view was the doctor's name should have been erased from the medical register following the panel's finding of serious professional misconduct." Niall Dickson on the Barton case


If the GMC panel's are independent of the GMC, the GMC would not have a view of the possible outcome of the case. But that comment suggests that the GMC did have a view of outcome.

We know the GMC recruits panelists, selects panelists for each case, briefs them in advance, provides advice throughout cases, audits their verdicts and pays them between £300 and £500 a day


The GMC must decide the outcome in advance of the case because an adjudicator (The Panel) should not communicate with the investigator (The GMC).

Therefore - GMC panel verdicts are predetermined!

For those who know even a little law, this goes against every principle of natural justice.

We can therefore assume that the panellists were briefed to give the verdict they did

Niall Dickson having a "Nelson Moment"

Like Nelson expecting every man to do his duty, Niall Dickson expects every GMC panellist to do GMC bidding. He has only been there a month and already he understands how the GMC works
