Patient confidentiality is binary. Getting a final warning suggests previous breach as opposed to a first warning. My wife and I have worked in the NHS for a total of 60 years between us. Grace would have been a Doctor in the NHS when she qualified. So personally hurtful.

It’s horrific. Such a betrayal of professional integrity. I’m so sorry for the pernicious loss of your beautiful Grace x

Everything feels broken - such colossal failure, evasion, incompetence. Superficially we might think things are fine but they really aren’t. 🙏❤️

Any decent human would be horrified what’s happened throughout this case and hearing the constant failures. None of you deserve this pain that will always be there. I wish you strength 💙❤️💙

I have sat on disciplinary panels. Issue of a final warning does not necessarily imply there has been a previous transgression. It is simply that there can be no more in future.

It is normal in the nhs to go straight to final warning if dismissal deemed unsuitable. It doesn’t necessarily mean any previous breach. However I have usually known confidentiality breaches to result in dismissal and agree not to do this is hurtful and wrong.

Grotesque behaviour. Name and shame these “professionals”.

Spending £Bs on IT contracts and no oversight or "red flags" on confidentiality breaches? Breaches found by the victims... The NHS is fundamentally broken with a vacuum of leadership. Wait for the "We will learn the lessons"..

I've recently retired as a civil servant. In my job this would be regarded as gross misconduct and be automatic dismissal.

That must be so painful to hear that I’m sorry that a terrible breach of professional trust has happened to you and your family on the loss of your beautiful daughter thoughts are with you 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

If public sector staff can view your files and deny it, assume they will. V topical now HMRC has access to your bank accounts.

Although the wording suggests there were previous warnings, it’s actually a disciplinary term that if the behaviour happened again it would be instant dismissal. It’s not like the sickness process where it goes through stages and warnings etc. Peace to you 🙏🏻

I’m so sorry Dr Kumar for you and your wife .

That’s what concerned me, final warning……do what did they do previously 😢

💔

All the more reason to haul them over the coals, i wouldn't show them any kindness for the massive breach of trust..

I don’t understand the final warning? Surely gross misconduct (which accessing records you’re not entitled to is) should be instant dismissal

💔💔💔✝️✝️✝️Xxx

Travesty

Disgusting… utterly disgraceful

I’m so sorry this happened to you. In the police, a final written warning can be given for first-offence gross misconduct, ie conduct serious enough to justify (but not necessarily require) dismissal without notice. Misuse of police databases almost always leads to dismissal.

This is where ‘lumping’ the whole of the NHS together is one huge mistake. (Coming from a large ‘medical’ family) People are people, just because they have a lanyard around their neck do not bestow ‘Angel’ status! Bored,admin grade2/3 ‘tittle tattlers’ and a computer system….

A deep cut for you both & Emma as yous work in NHS and have given so much to it. These sick vultures should hang their heads in shame.

⚖️🕯️🕯️🕯️💔🌏🌍🌎your terrible heartbreak...a lifeline for lay people .realise that you are a stay for the bewildered by dint of your beautiful professional manner.

NHS trusts have a privatized management suite who enjoy all the perks, and on the ground they can employ people with no ethics, to get away with whatever they like - it's their perk. The ecosystem of zero ethics. There was no deterrent to this behavior, as no regulation see.

How many data breaches happen daily on the RIO system? How about the National Homicide Service make full transparency Let’s find out about the Obamacare super computers logging children and mothers for trafficking children with CPS Some of us know what they were doing

Utterly abhorrent, devastating loss followed by vile betrayal ... my heartfelt sympathies are with you and all the families
