The suggestion that any of the doctors in any way contributed towards, or were complicit in, any of these deaths or collapses is completely and utterly, off-the-charts, insane. It really is. There is literally zero evidence to suggest anything of the sort.

Lucy Letby was the sole perpetrator of all of the deaths, collapses and injuries she was convicted of. It really is that simple.

The only role the hospital played in this - IMO - was that of managers who dismissed and bullied doctors into submission when they raised legitimate concerns about her. In my opinion, and that of most people on here, she would have been stopped much sooner had they behaved responsibly. Nothing to do with any medical staff in any way, though.

Honestly makes no sense at all that she did it to highlight other failings at the hospital. She was more than capable of filing datix and other routes. Its pretty obviously the case that had she reported to managers they would have gone with what Lucy said, seemed teh managers didnt like the docs much. Then your left with the question of why proactively harm so many babies to achieve it, what kind of person would? You'd have to be heartless.

She did complete a whole host of Datix forms- that was also used against herr

We shall see, I think the inquiry painted a very different picture of the doctors. I think it’s genuinely a pity that they couldn’t see beyond their whispering and follow their own safeguarding protocols- but I also accept that this was to do with the fact they were barely ever on the ward- which circled back to how stretched they were to do ward rounds and attend meetings about serious incidents- which should have been raised by them through their own safeguarding protocols. They loved a good mutter privately about the state of the situation and their inability to attend meetings, but they were hardly being heroic men (and women) of action throughout this time. We suspect there may be foul play on the unit, whilst not pushing parents to get autopsies and inquiries into deaths. They saw dubious test results and x rays, but never followed them up to get confirmation or review them. Was there even a single DATIX form completed by a doctor in those few years? All questions asked of them in the inquiry whilst they floundered to justify why they didn’t do those things- and honestly the excuse of being suspicious of someone causing harm taking up all their time really doesn’t wash with me and it didn’t appear to be acceptable in the inquiry either. But hey you have swung me back off the fence to accepting the guilty verdict- so maybe you can also convince me the doctors did their utmost for those babies on the unit.
