Robbie’s Law
Robbie’s Law and the Need for a Statutory Duty of Candour - October 14th, 2010
The Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations, which came into force in April 2010, provide for a statutory duty on healthcare providers to report incidents which harm patients to the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA).
AvMA’s report states that, “everyone needs to understand that it is simply unacceptable to allow dishonesty over medical accidents. Sending the message that cover ups may be tolerated (as the current arrangements do) can in no way support an open and fair culture.”

see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
Oh, isn't it remarkable at how confident we can be with the effectiveness of the self regulation that the medical profession has achieved world wide?

Wednesday, December 09, 2009, 08:47
A PUBLIC inquiry into the death of a 10-year-old boy from a treatable condition moved a step closer today.

of 10-year-old Robbie Powell
from a treatable condition may now go ahead."

A CHARITY yesterday won its bid to challenge
the General Medical Council’s decision
not to investigate the death of a 10-year-old boy.

Call for ‘Robbie’s Law’ for medical mistakes
"Make it a legal requirement to inform patients, or their next of kin, if there has been an error or incident in a patient’s healthcare which has, or may, cause harm."

Self regulation in the "HEALTH PROFESSIONS?"
.
.
A nurse who secretly filmed to reveal the neglect of elderly patients at a hospital has been found guilty of misconduct at a disciplinary hearing.
I tried to put things right and get standards improved. I prepared a report, but no one took on board what I was saying.

Harold Shipman travesty, an example!?
Dr Reynolds, who was a partner in the Brooke practice opposite to Shipman's Market Street surgery, risked her career by triggering the first police investigation into the Hyde doctor in March 1998.
Is this another example of the value of "self regulation"?
GMC DEFEATED IN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT JUDICIAL REVIEW
Wouldn't this be nice?
Maybe the tooth fairy really exists!
Doctors 'must root out bad care'
"We need to create a culture where doctors are obliged to challenge each other.
It is not happening everywhere at the moment.
There is a silence among professionals.
Time to make a noise in support of the whistleblowers

Maybe this, European Court of Human Rights decision, should be kept in mind.
"Whilst it was arguable that doctors had a duty not to falsify medical records under the common law (Sir Donaldson MR’s “duty of candour”), before Powell v Boladz there was no binding decision of the courts as to the existence of such a duty. As the law stands now, however, doctors have no duty to give the parents of a child who died as a result of their negligence a truthful account of the circumstances of the death, nor even to refrain from deliberately falsifying records."The decision can be accessed from this page searching for

Effective Self Regulation?
Another event, in Wales, disturbingly similar to the previous post.
12 August 2005, An important update!
Parents accept doctor's damages
An article dedicated to a little boy called Robbie Powell. His family's perseverance and dedication throughout their long fight for justice are an inspiration and example to us all.

Doctors have no duty to give, as a result of their negligence, a truthful account of the circumstances of a death, nor even to refrain from deliberately falsifying records?‽
Is this believable?‽
It seemed too farfetched to be believable until I looked at the European Court of Human Rights decision.

A GP who examined a boy hours before he died
of a treatable illness
has denied her judgement was clouded
because she was arguing with his parents.
