Introduction

This blog serves to expose the inside of the Medical Protection Society in a way that will surprise the reader. After all what is the MPS? It is said to be a discretionary mutually beneficial society created to help doctors facing disciplinary problems. It boasts of the fact that there will always be a medical advisor on hand to support you and look after your best interests. But is that what really happens and whose interests are they really looking after doctor? Is it really yours? Well it probably is if you are a consultant or a GP principle. If however you are neither of these then it may not be your best interests they are looking after but in fact someone elses best interests including their own and including your regulator's interests. In fact it is likely that they will be acting with a conflict of interests, whilst hoping that you the doctor will not twig there is anything wrong and if you do they will smooth it over with their emollient words, assuring you that all is OK. Can you really be sure? You cannot. This blog will tell the tale of this organisation and what lies in it's archives. It will tell a story of cover up. This is it as never before.

Field Fisher Waterhouse blames RadcliffesLeBrasseur and the MPS

I remained both curious and troubled about what the doctor had told me about RadcliffesLeBrasseur, formerly Le Brasseur, and Drs Nelson and Bradley and the MPS. I therefore returned and asked for more information. She told me that it was obvious with the benefit of hindsight that RadcliffesLeBrasseur should have challenged the GMC when they had the conversation with them in which the assistant registrar described her as a psychopath. They did nothing although they were instructed by the MPS to defend her professional reputation. She said that the GMC then erased her and at that point the MPS should have appealed as they knew there had been gross unfairness in the handling of her case but they refused to fund any appeal. Her reputation remained in tatters whilst the MPS covered for Le Brasseur and their negligence in not challenging the GMC at the outset. She said that she had raised this matter more recently with her representative in the MPS but declined to tell me who he is. She then said that the MPS obviously know they were wrong and to top it all Field Fisher have now confirmed RadcliffesLeBrasseur's failings in a letter which she showed me. I then asked her to comment and she said, "The MPS are aware of their gross failing and the extreme stress this has placed me under. I feel ill and bereft at what the MPS have done to ruin my career, my reputation and afford me no protection whatsoever and deprive me of an income. They will have to right their wrong and that of Le Brasseur." The Emigrant asks doctors to reflect on whether they really want to be represented by RadcliffesLeBrasseur and are the MPS more in the business of protecting their own solicitor's failings. The GMC's own solicitor knows what has happened in this case. They know that when the chips are down the MPS and RadcliffesLeBrasseur will not really defend the doctor adequately but protect their own backs from any criticism from the GMC over their service to the doctor. Take very good care doctor it may be your reputation next.
