A doctor, who lost her licence over the death of a six-year-old boy, is attempting to regain permission to practise.
In November 2015 Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba was convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence following the death of Jack Adcock at Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2011.
She was given a two year jail sentence, suspended for two years.
Image source, Family handoutBawa-Garba was originally suspended from the medical register for a year in June 2017 but was later struck off by the General Medical Council (GMC).
She appealed the decision and it was later overturned and the lesser sanction of a one-year suspension was restored. This was later extended.
Today her case called at the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) to determine whether or not she can return to practise.
Image source, PAThe tribunal heard from Dr Johnathan Cusack, her educational supervisor. He said he had first met her in 2008 when she worked with him in neonatal practice and described her as having "good clinical skills" and was a "well liked member of the team."He went on to say he came across her again in 2014, three years after the fatal incident, when he said she was "much more subdued" and said "clearly what had happened had affected her."
Dr Bawa-Garba will give evidence via video link. The hearing continues.

Image source, Getty ImagesJo said she gave her son a choice; to get involved with the gang and leave home, or stay with her and work through the issues together. That tough ultimatum worked, and her son is now studying at college.
"It was the hardest thing I've ever done because I had to sit him down and put it on the table," she said
"Literally, 'I'm going to throw you out - I can't live like this I've got other children to protect, or we sort this out together and you get out of it'."
She's now working on a website to help other families like hers to find help and support and keep other young people away from gangs.
