After reflecting on Dr Evans’ comments in the new documentary (to be released next Monday), I wonder if he realises that when I raised concerns about his role in the Letby case, I was not questioning his competence during his practising years. I have no reason to doubt that he…
Why could Ben Myers find no expert witnesses to defend the insulin poisoning theory, whereas Mark McDonald has found plenty? Letby’s fate was effectively sealed at the pre-trial expert meeting, when experts on both sides agreed exogenous insulin had been given to two babies,…
THIS!!! Thank you, Martyn. I believe a national system of obstetric/neonatal independent expert reviews - similar to the one Donna Ockenden @DOckendenLtd has established for the Ockenden review in Nottingham - should be put in place. Families who have lost trust in the…

@DOckendenLtd Donna, tagging you here as this article demonstrates how normal, good neonatal care has been grossly misrepresented by some journalists in the Lucy Letby case. I am already hearing examples of nurses feeling reluctant to deliver routine neonatal care because of this…
Oh wow. What are the requirements to become chair of a birth trauma event? It appears that the birth trauma association @BirthTrauma has gone for: 1. No relevant experience in obstetrics whatsoever. 2. A few awkward questions about perjury and negligence hanging in the…

@DHSCgovuk 1.What relevant experience in maternity and neonatal care does Baroness Amos, the appointed chair, bring to this role? 2.How will you ensure that parents’ clinical questions regarding the care mothers and babies received are fully addressed? 3.Who are the…
Before I comment, I need to report a conflict of interest. I worked briefly with Dr Jane Hawdon more than a decade ago and had concerns about her professional conduct in 2023, which I reported to the GMC (unrelated to Letby). For the record, the GMC dismissed my concerns - as…

Indeed, we absolutely should. Thirlwall is getting extremely generous funding and is clearly paying attention to this case – but if proper attention had been paid in the first place, this MoJ would never have happened. Further to your comments, I’m especially worried about the…

@gilham_stuart Good question. When Dr Evans trained, subspecialty training wasn’t as structured as it is now. All general paediatricians would have some experience across the subspecialties within paediatrics - that’s the whole point of being a generalist. A subspecialty interest can then be…
At Level 1 units (Special Care Baby Units or SCBUs), neonatal care is always provided by cross-cover from General Paediatricians. These doctors are expected and would have had the training to possess the required neonatal resuscitation skills - though standards can vary…
Some comments addressing the latest drip feed by LJ Thirlwall. When a clinician struggles to intubate a baby, there are two main possibilities: either the airway was difficult and even the one with the best of skills would have struggled (not that common) or the person…
@StuartWheeler28 I completely disagree. The Letby case wasn’t a conspiracy at all - it was a textbook case of scapegoating aided and abetted by a deeply dysfunctional CPS and criminal justice system. (Normally people just leave or they get bullied in employment tribunals or GMC/NMC tribunals).…
Please don’t vote for an individual who confidently dismisses people as “conspiracy theorists” without examining the evidence or - if they lack the cognitive skills to do so themselves - without considering the credibility of the experts who have spoken out. Leaders who behave…

@robjwil @SandsUK @tommys “Number of midwives” is a meaningless number without accounting for cumulative years of clinical experience. Why? Because a newly qualified midwife won’t be anywhere near the equivalent to a midwife with 30 years of experience, yet they could be both “box ticked” as band 6.…
