NHS England urged to introduce external second opinion when dismissing staff

Narinder Kapur proposes ‘Amin’s rule’ named after Amin Abdullah who killed himself after losing his job

NHS England is being urged to introduce an independent second opinion whenever it decides to dismiss a healthcare professional, in memory of a nurse who set himself on fire after being unfairly dismissed from his job.

Dr Narinder Kapur, an NHS whistleblower, is proposing “Amin’s rule”, named after Amin Abdullah, who killed himself in 2016, to plug a gap he says exists when it comes to staff wellbeing.
