Doctors protest against colleague's striking off

DOCTORS will demonstrate outside the General Medical Council’s (GMC) offices today to protest against the striking off of one of their colleagues.

Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba was struck off last month after the GMC successfully appealed against her initial 12-month suspension to the High Court.

She was found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter and received a suspended jail sentence over the 2011 death of six-year-old Jack Adcock who suffered a cardiac arrest caused by sepsis.
