Whistle in the Wind


 Blurb
In a shocking indictment of NHS standards, cover-ups and legal dirty tricks, Peter Duffy, consultant surgeon writes of his 35 years of experience on the front-line of the NHS. Charting his career pathway from auxiliary nurse and unskilled operating theatre orderly, he takes us through his progress to senior consultant surgeon and head of department. In 2015, and after blowing the whistle on a series of near misses, he reluctantly reported an avoidable death, cover-up and ongoing surgical risk-taking to the Care Quality Commission. Within months he was out of work and unemployed. Via avoidable deaths and errors, cover-ups, misuse of public funds, bullying, abuse and victimisation the author charts out in searing detail his demotion, punishments and exile from both family and NHS and the subsequent brutal legal process that followed his illegal dismissal.

 Reviews

 What a read, just couldn’t put this book down. The integrity of this hard working medical professional was put to the test so many times just for trying to be the skilled person he trained to be! Just how he didn’t completely buckle under the pressure is beyond me. It is scandalous that he has been forced to live in virtual exile from his family.

 “The true measurement of a person's worth isn't what they say they believe in, but what they do in defence of those beliefs. If you're not acting on your beliefs, then they probably aren't real." Whistleblower Ed Snowden said that. It could have been written of the author of this book, Peter Duffy. He believes in the NHS. He acted on those beliefs. With disastrous consequences for him and his family.

 Wow. What a truly harrowing account. Beautifully written and completely empathetic. I would trust this man with my entire family. You must read this book.

TRUST BACKS CALLS FOR PUBLIC INQUIRY

New statement from UHMBT chief executive Aaron Cummins Aaron Cummins, Chief Executive of University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT) said: “I’m pleased that John Woodcock, MP, was able to meet with the Trust yesterday to discuss the concerns raised by a former employee, Consultant Urologist, Peter Duffy. “Peter has raised serious safety concerns in his book and, while we believe all the clinical cases we can identify from the book have been investigated, we want to further reassure ourselves and the public that this has taken place and the necessary action has been taken. “John has been very clear how he feels the Trust is viewed on this matter, appearing ‘closed’ and defensive’ with how we’ve responded to some media queries, particularly Freedom of Information Requests (FOI) and we respect that view. “We have attempted to answer all questions in a timely and honest way in accordance with any applicable regulations and we will now be publishing all...

One of the 'Urology Three' finally faces being struck off

It only took the authorities 19 years... In 2001 Kavinder Madhra started at the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. Within 12 months he had been issued a warning from the General Medical Council. It was blatantly obvious to his colleagues - four of whom have confirmed their opinion - that he was a 'rogue consultant' - someone who was putting patients at risk. He was sent off to Scotland - at the taxpayer's expense - to 'retrain' (while still being paid his salary) and returned to Cumbria a number of years later. He continued to make mistakes. Right up until September 2018 when the GMC/MPTS finally imposed restrictions on him (although you may question why the trust hadn't done something sooner). One former nurse told me how in theatre Mr Madhra would 'sprinkle' powder penicillin over a wound after performing surgery. I'll allow those who are medically trained to make up their own mind about such a practice. ...
