Sheffield surgeon struck off

Recommended Posts

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?

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?

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals will just argue he was GMC registered and therefore legal.

 

I'm losing faith in the GMC to be honest.

He has been working in Sheffield since 2001 according to the report. I wonder what other horrors he might have been responsible for?
