Disciplinary panel at former work place?

Goodie said:
I wouldn’t waste your time. Allot of these panel decisions will have been made before you turn up to defend yourself regardless. You don’t work there, you’ve left the country, what is there for you to want to turn up for.

Don’t bother, ignore and continue with your life.

In some ways I have had a feeling that the decision have already been made, considering they brought it to a panel to start with. Otherwise they could have closed down the investigation much earlier. And it's not like I have a registration with the NMC or GMC either, so can't be struck off.
 
I think the biggest question is

(checks GD or SC... GD... Check)

Do they have a letterbox?

They won't really care what you have to say. This "panel" will all know eachother and exist to defend the organisation, so they will never admit to any fault. It's a waste of time actually trying to defend yourself.

It has through out the entire time always seemed to be more about me and what I did rather than short comings of the unit. I can't deny what I did, but it was all due to self defence to protect myself. Technically with the police case against me closed the only thing they could get me is for breaking hospital policy.

Ah okay, well Id want to know for certain what it was about before considering going and clearing up any vague details in the case.
You might even be doing everyone a favor by ignoring it or flat out refusing so they can sign it off and bury it with the rest of the bureaucrat tosh.

That does show the OP in a rather different light. I suspect most of us assumed that he had to defend himself against an able bodied assailant.

What I did was pretty much restraining someone who tried to punch and bite me, but my Band 6 at that time deemed it as me assaulting the other person. Hence why it was reported to the police, and the police closed the case without ever contacting me in any form or way (and I even went to the station several times to try speak with someone about it).

oh **** m8, no worries, i thought it might have been something more comical, no fun in staff being assaulted.
proper order to restrain

Yeah. But my band 6 deemed it as an assault so reported me to first the site manager, and then also to the police. There is some more small **** too involved (like we not being informed that the patient could get violent etc). And the managers were also a bit "well, our hospital policy says that you are not allowed to restrain someone unless you are trained security, and you should have tried escape first".

My friends mate works in the Met and he was like "you acted in self defence, broke no common law, and even if the policy says one thing, they cant stop your legal right to self defence". But its pretty common that staff gets assaulted with no issues for the assailants. One of my former colleagues had several fingers broken by a patient and was told by the police and managers "its part of the job"
 
We get idiots trying to assaut us all the time. Had one last shift in fact, but after calmly explaining to him that Resus. was just across the corridor and that they currently had a couple of empty bays he seemed to lose interest.
