Dr Faye Kirkland @ FayekirklandGP
Online GP Services Ltd and **@MyWebDoctorUK** prosecuted for illegally providing online healthcare services. First prosecution of its kind in Wales
Dr Helen Webberley **@MyWebDoctorUK**
During the hearing when I explained I couldn’t stop providing services to my transgender patients as it would result in death and harm, HIW responded that ‘the safety of patients was not their concern. Well, the safety of my patients is MY greatest concern.
Hmmmmm they seem to leave out the fact that they refused registration as a clinic and then alleged OLGPS was running a medical agency. Discrimination against trans people extends to those who support them.
The problem is that Helen put her patients in a situation where they were dependent on her, and she acted in a way was illegal and never thought from the outset what happened if she was, for example, died unexpectedly.
That's not ethical behaviour. To say she was acting with her patients best interests first is a nonsense.
This is a woman with a disregard for medical ethics and registration - which is all about safeguarding.
It's not discriminating against trans people to require practitioners to be correctly registered with the relevant way. That's about protecting her patients.
If the authorities let doctors have the excuse that patients wouldn't have a doctor if a doctor wasn't allowed to keep practicing outside the frameworks of safeguarding, there would be no deterrent to stop every quack going or people dodging expensive registration. Which would put patients at risk.
This is emotional blackmail from a woman who has power over patients and does not understand why the system exists in the way it does and how it's designed to protect.
That it itself speaks volumes.
Yet this woman is being wheeled out as an "expert" by media companies. I think the last time she was, was last week - when surely this case was in progress and ongoing.
Given her previous history the failure of media companies to check up on her current status is a dereliction of their own duty as truth seekers and highlights the point so many have been making about how the 'trans' debate isn't subject to the same scrutiny you'd get in any other area.
It's a reoccurring theme. Scandals of all sorts - relating to bullying, lack of understanding of safeguarding principles and males exploiting the ideology - keep cropping up.
And even now I still think we needed 6 more months, and we'll be stitched up in a spectacular way.
