More than 7,000 doctors warn medics will be too scared to admit mistakes after pediatrician is struck off

More than 7,000 doctors warn medics will be too scared to admit mistakes after paediatrician is struck off Doctors have warned they may be less likely to admit mistakes after a pediatrician was controversially struck off for causing the death of a young boy.

More than 7,500 medics have signed a letter raising deep seated concerns about last week’s decision to strike Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba from the medical register.

It comes after Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, raised similar concerns, warning that the decision could have implications for patient safety if doctors felt they could not admit openly to their mistakes. The Daily Telegraph
