Doctors and Their Crimes: Hiding Behind the White Coat by Baroness Clare Gerada MBE and Dr Zaid Al-Najjar examines what happens when the people society trusts most betray that trust. Drawing on high-profile real cases and their own clinical experience, the authors explore medical malpractice, fraud, manslaughter, sexual misconduct and abuse of power in the medical profession.
Clare Gerada is a practising GP in South London and a cross-bench peer in the House of Lords. Zaid Al-Najjar is a GP and Medical Director at NHS Practitioner Health. Together they look beyond individual wrongdoing at the systemic failures in healthcare and the law that allow such crimes to happen, and ask how trust in the profession can be restored.
