Mm, that’s a bit like declaring you’ve read the T&Cs before every online purchase though. More honoured in the breach than the observance.
I don't agree. My job involves similarly detailed professional standards. I can't give you chapter and verse but I can certainly give you the key points.
I'd potentially expect dismissal for comments like his, and that's without two warnings.
If you're not a doctor, I don't see the relevance of the norms of your profession to AH? So it's not really a matter of agreement or disagreement, is it? It's different professions having different norms.
I'm talking about the norms in medicine. There are 32 GMC guidelines over 11 categories. Most doctors would be hard-pressed to list the categories, let alone all the the guidelines, so many won't be aware that the GMC even has a social medical guideline (though of course AH knew after he was warned). And most tick the 'Yes I have read the guidance' box on their appraisal because it's one of 100s of documents they have to read every day, and they couldn't function if they actually read them all properly. That may be uncomfortable to hear, but it's the truth.
And dismissal isn't the issue here - it's (potentially) erasure from the professional register, the thresholds for which tend to be considerably higher than dismissal from an individual employer.
Again, I am not advocating for AH's position; I am just trying to give context that will help non-medical posters interpret what is going on.
