Liz HullHOST
She said that he presented the case as he saw it, and he made sure that only documents that supported his case were seen in writing, and crucially said that Mr. Harvey and the other executives misled the hospital board.
Liz HullHOST
She said that once the RCPCH had carried out their review, they weren't given enough time to read it.
Liz HullHOST
And when they gave evidence to the inquiry, the board themselves agreed that they'd been misled.
Caroline CheethamHOST
Yeah, and you'll also remember about that RCPCH report, Liz, and I should say as an aside, Lady Justice Thirlwall makes it very, very clear it should never, ever have gone ahead because it was a completely wrong report to commission off the back of what was being suspected on the unit.
Caroline CheethamHOST
But actually, even more cynical, the consultants were told the RCPCH report had effectively cleared Lucy Letby of any wrongdoing, which of course it hadn't.
Caroline CheethamHOST
They then weren't given the report to read for themselves.
Caroline CheethamHOST

Liz HullHOST
But in fact, that was never the case.
Tony ChambersSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In my mind, at this time, everything that we were being told by independent experts, independent neonatology experts, not pediatricians who have an interest in neonatology, but independent neonatology experts, was that there was no evidence of deliberate harm.

So have a look at all these websites like the RCPCH for pediatrics has facing the future standards, which will have some that are relevant to whatever area you're in.
TessaHOST
And yeah, there'll be societies that might have some and just ask your colleagues as well.
TessaHOST
But the reality is as a non-consultant, you don't really need to think about metrics and KPIs, but you still probably are working towards them.
