It recommended that the GMC should continue to encourage a culture which seek to resolve issues locally first, if possible.&#8221; \n\ni News&#8217; report quotes DAUK&#8217;s Learn Not Blame Co-lead Dr Jenny Vughan:\n\n\u201cWe still have questions about the role of Mastercall, and over why the provision of a work laptop, which is an essential piece of equipment, was not resolved locally.\n\n\u201cThis is especially concerning because Dr Arora is an overseas-trained doctor from India, and we know that the proportion of IMG (international medical graduate) doctors referred to the GMC and consequently sanctioned or punished in other ways exceeds that found in the general population of doctors in the UK.\n\n\u201cThis case, in conjunction with several previous concerning cases, raises again the spectre of disproportionately unfair treatment of the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic medical population. This cannot be tolerated.\u201d\n\nRead the full news <a href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/news\/health\/manjula-arora-apology-gp-wrongfully-suspended-laptop-request-1950704\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The i News reports on the independent review which found the GMC had mishandled the case of Dr Manjula Arora, an Indian born GP. &#8220;The&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dauk-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1065"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1065\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
