Puggie Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 This isn't the first instance and it certainly wont be the last. According to the GMC database Mr Lawal Baba Haruna is a Nigerian who qualified from Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria. How on earth do these individuals end up as NHS surgeons?

NigelFargate Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 This is shocking. Were there other surgeons present? Were his credentials checked? Why was he let loose on patients? What faith can we have in Sheffield teaching hospitals when a disaster of this magnitude was allowed to occur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puggie Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 What faith can we have in Sheffield teaching hospitals when a disaster of this magnitude was allowed to occur? Sheffield Teaching Hospitals will just argue he was GMC registered and therefore legal. I'm losing faith in the GMC to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelFargate Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 He has been working in Sheffield since 2001 according to the report. I wonder what other horrors he might have been responsible for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
