CBS STATEMENT ON JAMES GILBERT
Oxford transplant surgeon James Gilbert is eligible to return to work this month after serving only a one-year suspension — an MPTS sanction for sexually harassing female colleagues over a period of 13 years.
His case echoes the concerning findings of research which found 23.9% of sanctions involving sexual misconduct were more lenient than GMC recommendations, and just 35% resulted in full erasure.

“it is increasingly apparent that some of the larger unions do not always adequately represent the unique needs of surgeons, anaesthetists and the entire surgical family. During my career it has become increasingly clear ‘one size does not fit all’.”
@nigelmercer explains why a trade union for surgeons and their teams was so essential in @HlthcareToday

Holy shit! Bruce Springsteen, with one of the most eloquent endorsements for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz you'll hear. The Boss also delivered one of the strongest repudiations of the loathsome piece of shit I've heard from anyone. Let's fucking go‼️🙌🌊🇺🇸
