Rich Gorman: The Role of Inquiry Findings in Shaping Professional Memory and Learning
Rich Gorman, Assistant Professor in Ethics and Social Science at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article published in Haemophilia, co-authored by him and his colleagues, adding:
“Very pleased to be able to share a new article written with Clive Smith, Bobbie Farsides, and Emma Cave.
The UK’s Infected Blood Inquiry (IBI) represents a landmark endeavour in confronting historic failings in UK healthcare – failings that decimated the haemophilia community.
The Inquiry concluded that there had been ‘A catalogue of failures at systematic, collective and individual level, contributing to more than 3,000 deaths’.
Yet, in professional journals, there have been mixed reactions to the Report.
This piece discusses these and reflects on what is at stake in the shaping of professional memory and learning about the Inquiry and its findings.
The IBI’s findings – including that much of what happened was avoidable, foreseen, and tolerated – must not be diluted nor downplayed.
How we choose to remember these events will directly shape the future of accountability and trust within healthcare.
You can read the full piece, open access, in Haemophilia.”
