called for an investigation<\/a> into the GMC\u2019s \u2018aggressive pursuit\u2019 of Dr Bawa-Garba, said the regulator had used its right to appeal \u2018in every case to impose harsher conditions or sanctions on doctors\u2019, adding that the GMC has \u2018failed to appropriately reflect on its ongoing use of appeals\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDoctors’ confidence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Dr Rinesh Parmar, DAUK treasurer, said: \u2018Doctors\u2019 confidence in their regulator the GMC has been severely damaged in the wake of the Bawa-Garba case. This [is] evident with thousands of doctors signing letters to the GMC throughout the case and following Dr Bawa-Garba\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018The actions of the GMC during the case and its desire to continue with these appeals further damages the relationship between doctors and their regulator. The GMC is seen as an organisation that is unable to appropriately reflect on its actions, learn from mistakes and remediate going forwards when seeking to impose harsher conditions to those determined by an independent tribunal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
