  7. Bats roost in former station building

    BBC News Online

    The former ticket office at Millers Dale Station will be given a new lease of life as a cafe…complete with bat habitat.

    The station, part of the Monsal Trail, was a stop on the old Midland Railway line and is between Buxton and Bakewell.

    The building was most recently used as a ranger base, but long-eared bats and house martins moved in when they left and will have to be incorporated into the new use because they're protected.

    Millers Dale

    Emma Stone, from the Peak District National Park Authority, said: “We have to be very sensitive to how we use the site so over the next week or two we’ll be carrying out a more detailed ecological survey.

    “The bats will still be able to carry on using the site when we’ve opened as a café.”

    Speaking from Nigeria today where she is on holiday Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba said she was "very pleased with the outcome" but wanted to "pay tribute and remember Jack Adcock."

    Dr Bawa-Garba had been working as a junior doctor at the Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2011 when Jack died. She was struck off last year.

    She added: "I've dedicated my life to medicine. It is my purpose.

    "My hope is that lessons learnt from this case will translate into better working conditions for junior doctors, better recognition of sepsis and factors in place that will improve patient safety."

    Hazida Bawa-Garba

    She apologised to Jack's parents for what had happened and thanked people who had supported her throughout the legal process.

    She said on her return to the UK she would speak with the GMC about returning to her training.

    She added: "I hope I will be given the opportunity to prove that what has happened can only make me a better doctor and use that to become better at serving the community."

  11. GMC: Case has been 'lightning rod for profession'

    Sandish Shoker

    BBC News

    The General Medical Council has said it will carry out an internal review following today's hearing of Dr Bawa-Garba and see what lessons can be learnt.

    Charlie Massey, chief executive of the GMC, said: "Although gross negligence manslaughter cases in medicine are extremely rare, this case has exposed a raft of concerns, particularly around the role of criminal law in medicine.

    "Which is why we have commissioned an independent review to look at how it is applied in situations where the risk of death is a constant, and in the context of systemic pressure."

    Dr Bawa-Garba

    Mr Massey added that the case had been a "lightning rod for the profession, highlighting issues that have gone unaddressed for far too long" and as a result, they would be looking at what more they can do to support doctors.

  14. Health leaders react to Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba verdict

    Sonia Kataria

    BBC News

    Dr Bawa-Garba had been suspended from the medical register for a year in June 2017.

    However, the General Medical Council (GMC) appealed the decision claiming it was "not sufficient to protect the public" and she was struck off in January 2018.

    Dr Rob Hendry, medical director at the Medical Protection Society (MPS), said MPS was "very pleased" Dr Bawa-Garba's appeal succeeded.

    He said: "MPS supported Dr Bawa-Garba for seven years. We know how much this will mean to her, and to the profession.

    "It is vital that lessons are now learned to avoid other doctors having to go through the same ordeal."

    Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba

    Charlie Massey, chief executive of the GMC, said the council fully accepted the Court of Appeal's judgement.

    "We are sorry for the anguish and uncertainty these proceedings have had on Jack’s family, Dr Bawa-Garba and the wider profession," he said.

    "This was a complex and unusual case. While the decisions we took were in good faith, we know that investigations and hearings are difficult for everyone involved."

  15. Doctor's actions 'neither deliberate nor reckless'

    BBC News

    Three senior judges quashed the High Court's decision and restored the lesser sanction of a one-year suspension.

    Announcing the ruling, Master of the Rolls Sir Terence Etherton said: "No concerns have ever been raised about the clinical competence of Dr Bawa-Garba, other than in relation to Jack's death.

    Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba

    "The tribunal was satisfied that her deficient actions in relation to Jack were neither deliberate nor reckless."

    He added that she is a "competent and useful doctor, who presents no material continuing danger to the public, and can provide considerable useful future service to society".

    Sonia Kataria

    BBC News

    A doctor who was struck off over the death of a six-year-old has won her appeal to practise medicine again.

    Jack Adcock died of sepsis at Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2011.

    Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba was removed from the register in January after she was convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence in 2015 because of mistakes in Jack's care.

    Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba

    Thousands of doctors funded her appeal because they said the ruling would discourage practitioners from being open when reviewing mistakes.
