BAME doctors more likely to be investigated than white ones

BAME doctors more likely to be investigated than white ones Nine years ago, a patient died under the care of surgeon David Sellu. He was jailed but his conviction was quashed on appeal.

Mr Sellu believes his race had an impact on how his case was handled, and he has raised concerns about how the General Medical Council (GMC) treats black and ethnic minority doctors.

Figures obtained by a BBC Freedom of Information request suggest the GMC is more likely to investigate complaints against BAME doctors than those who are white. BBC News
