Off topic but what does the symbol the police bod is wearing on his lapel mean? (I assume it has some kind of meaning, it is quite prominent)

I've posted this before and been shouted down. NHS management is not fit for purpose.

Of course that's a generalisation. Of course there are some excellent managers but the majority are not fit to hold their positions and it is exacerbated by a bullying, dishonest and defensive culture. Client confidentiality prevents me stating all the things I have seen. It makes me sick to my stomach. I have written to Chief Executives and MPs with evidence of misconduct and it is brushed aside. Arrangements with the press mean that criticisms are suppressed.

Things only enter the public domain when the incompetence, dishonesty and self interest is simply overwhelmed by the scale and nature of the problems. These cases are not isolated - they are the tip of an iceberg. The CQC is equally unfit for purpose.

Nothing will change. It is too big, too political and too protected to be subjected to the kind of root and branch restructuring that is the only hope of returning to competence and professionalism. It will never happen.
Watch out, that's "Our NHS" you're daring to criticize there ! Maybe if it ever goes back to being "The" NHS in political debate, there might be a chance of looking properly at the failings.
I know. Sacred cows and angels and all that. I'll never change my opinion because unlike the vast majority of people who only have experience via medical treatment, I have seen what goes on behind the scenes. I'm sorry to say that very few public sector organisations are much better.

Watch the focus being maintained on a psychopathic nurse. The arrogance of the current management keeping quiet today. BS from the former SMT. Not a single person will be fired or prosecuted aside from Letby.

This has the same level of derangement as David Fuller , she just isn't wired in, got away with it the first time and kept feeding some sort of mental disorder by continuing to commit what she has done.

I just feel for the parents and regret and anger they must be feeling tonight as this comes to the end of it.

I see the chief exec at the time is now interim chief exec in Liverpool...

Looks like the prostrate cancer badge?

Just one little timeline for you. Spot the person at the helm during the period.

I'm assuming that the media and Politicians will now carry out a 24/7 assassination campaign against the nursing profession, tell the public not to approach nurses, demand their private phones be handed over for examination, call for root and branch reform of nursing and demand an enquiry that assumes all nurses are evil murderers.
That's how it works right? Or is that just reserved for Police Officers?
The difference is Nurses condemn what happened. They don’t have a wall of silence or a culture of this.

A lot of her colleagues did the right thing, raised concerns and testified against her.

Are you seriously suggesting Police Officers cheered for him? Seriously?
Wall of silence? Culture?
You've just proved my point.

Didn't two police officers give character references for Wayne Couzens after he pleaded guilty?

I've not been following this case but learning that warnings were ignored reminds me that Devon & Cornwall police were warned at least twice by their own officers about the potential issues of using an Emergency Response Belt as a spit guard before officers used one to snuff out mentally ill Thomas Orchard in a police cell on 3 October 2012.

People have commented on Twitter that Managers who ignored the warnings should be prosecuted for Corporate Manslaughter.

She has maintained her innocence throughout.
All the evidence is circumstantial.
Upwards of 20 murders/attempted murders and not once is there a witness to anything.

Something is wrong here?

9 months of evidence, a month of jury deliberations and finally a verdict. Now the predictable baying for NHS management heads to roll and recriminations begin.

This was posted on twitter by Richard Gill. One of the guys involved in helping overturn the conviction of the Dutch nurse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucia_de_Berk

Whether this conviction will follow a similar path in future?

Strangest murder case ever really, in terms of the gravity of the crimes vs lack of direct evidence, clear motive or any previous examples of psychopathy.

With Beverly Allit, I remember her boyfriend giving interviews after the trial indicating how nutty she was. Nothing remotely like this here.
I think I read on here that an investigative journalist has already produced a lengthy analysis of why the conviction might be unsafe.
I think it's possible she did it.... maybe as much chance as 50/50..... but certainly can't see how it's been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

Anyone thinking she might be innocent, please research this properly before commenting. Just one example, she was on shift every time this happened. Across the hundreds of hours staff spent with the children, one thing was consistent, she was on shift, and usually alone, with the infants prior to their collapse.

The jury must have found this all so hard, but they have deemed her guilty beyond reasonable doubt. She is as guilty as sin and I hope she rots.

Utterly bizarre. Just bizarre. What possible motive? I saw she wrote to the bereaved. Maybe some sort of weird Munchausens to share their grief?
