The link between #HillsboroughLaw and #RobbiesLaw explained here: https://lnkd.in/e-YXyQVj This is something that the public authorities and some promenent people in the #patientsafety and #whistleblowing bubbles, to their shame, don't appear to want us to know about. šŸ”µ I urge those who aviod mentioning Robbie to reconsider. It doesn't distract or take time away from your campaign, it adds to it šŸ”µ I am in awe of the incredible strength of Will Powell, against all the odds, in not letting an injustice go unresolved. This is an example to us all. Thank you Jen Newell for highlighting this 'unfinished buisiness' and the case that first highlighted the lack of an individual legal #dutyofcandour . ā­• Forgotten facts: "In the Powell case, the courts held that: • Doctors did not owe a legal duty of candour to patients or families, even when serious harm had occurred. • There was no general legal obligation to be truthful unless a specific statutory duty applied. • Misleading statements, even if morally wrong, did not automatically create criminal liability"* The evidence base is here: www.robbieslaw.com * My analysis of Robbie's case is here: https://lnkd.in/eiiQyjF3 #NHS #accountability #law #ethics
