JUNIOR paediatrician Hadiza Bawa-Garba, who was convicted of gross negligence manslaughter and struck off, won her appeal for reinstatement as a doctor today.

The Court of Appeal ruled that Ms Bawa-Garba, who was struck off after the General Medical Council (GMC) appealed against its own tribunal’s decision to suspend her, could return to practise, subject to a review of her suspension.

Master of the Rolls Terence Etherton said: “Undoubtedly, there are some cases where the facts are such that the most severe sanction, erasure, is the only proper and reasonable sanction. This is not one of them.”
