Professor Steve Turner, RCPCH President said:   

“Lucy Letby’s convictions are a matter for her legal team and the courts of law and is not a matter on which the Royal College will provide comment.    

The College is aware of the sensitive environment surrounding this issue. Within the medical profession and wider, individuals will have their own personal views. The College reminds clinicians, including all its members, of their responsibilities to remain respectful of colleagues and the public, in line with professional guidance.  

The College is a core participant of the Thirlwall Inquiry and has been providing evidence over the last year, which has been published on the Inquiry website.”
