Dispensing error resulting in Jail Sentence

[johnep]

One of the reasons why the GMC was so lenient with Drs (Harold Shipman), was that striking off would probably mean that the Dr would lose his home and marriage likely to break up. With a lady pharmacist, her husband would still be able to work and home not so likely to be lost. Just being made redundant from industry was a close call for me, although I was able to work in community the following week with a 25% reduction in pay.
For a proprietor, then could use locums to keep business, but for an employee no such hope. NHS has procedure of suspension on full pay. No such comfort for a locum, and yet pressure is for PCT to suspend accused pharmacists. So a mere unproven accusation could lose your home.
