A Very Dangerous Doctor
Dr Southall’s conduct was not a mere error of judgment in a challenging environment where there may have been few established principles for guidance. Nor was this a one-off failure with respect to the treatment of parents whose conduct had come under scrutiny. Public confidence in the science of expert assessment in those cases where serious issues of child protection were indeed raised would be undermined, if egregious behaviour of the kind under consideration here when combined with the lack of insight into or acknowledgement of its nature and extent was considered to be compatible with continued registration as a medical practitioner.
