What the Letby Case Reveals - Insights from a Recent Conference

In this video, we share an overview of a recent conference organised by the Nineteen Nurses and hosted by the Manchester Innocence Project that explored wider systemic issues highlighted by the Lucy Letby case. Speakers from medical, legal and academic fields discussed three key areas:
1. The culture within healthcare systems and how it shapes practice;
2. The use, interpretation, and challenges of expert evidence in criminal trials;
3. The appellate process and its limitations in addressing potential miscarriages of justice.

This summary reflects only the material currently available. Full contributions from the conference are expected to be released in due course by the organisers and we will provide further updates when they become publicly accessible.

If you attended the conference, you’re welcome to share your perspective in the comments.
