Yes, I did, but the prompts continued. However a PC reboot fixed the problem - phew.

Can I just put in a plea for a non-sub Android app? I'm currently thinking of jumping elsewhere and I LOVE Fade In. I bought it because it was non-sub, so unimpressed £10pm for the cloud thing when I have dropbox.

Getting a pop up on EVERY auto-save prompting for location.

Driving me insane - is this a fix in 5.0.1? If not can you provide a link to the last 4.x release? Thanks.

‘Strong reasonable doubt’ over Lucy Letby insulin convictions, experts say Exclusive: ‘No scientific justification’ to say former nurse definitely poisoned babies with insulin, according to study authors

The insulin cases are critically important, the first the jury returned verdicts on.

And the judge advised that if they found Lucy guilty on one count, they could use that to inform their decisions on others.

If the insulin cases fall, they all fall. (7/7)

Their full paper of over 170 pages has been submitted to the CCRC with 350 supporting references from peer reviewed journals. And it is founded on proven results.

Not just maths.

Not just theory.

Engineering, after all, is making science work in the real world. (6/7)

The three reasons to doubt Letby convictions over attempted baby deaths Expert report says blood test trial evidence fails to prove extra hormone was administered at all

After months of work, he and Helen Shannon found the culprit to be something naturally occurring called bound insulin.

They have demonstrated this can produce the highly elevated test results seen in the case. (5/7)

Chase’s proven model will have saved countless lives.

It has now been re-purposed to analyse why insulin tests in the Lucy case produced unusual-looking results which the court was told “proved” poisoning. (4/7)

His award-winning modelling has been used on a neonatal unit in NZ for many years. Typically, between 1 in 8 and 1 in 2 neonatal babies gets hypoglycemia.

On his watch, it is 1 in 40.

Up to TWENTY times better. (3/7)

Engineers bring branches of science together and make them work in the real world.

Chase, a biomedical specialist, has published over 1,800 papers. In 2017, he won an award for some of his research.

In part, this is because his work led to a dramatic improvement in outcomes. (2/7)

Biomedical Engineer Prof Geoff Chase co-authored a critical insulin paper for Lucy Letby’s defence with Chemical Engineer Helen Shannon.

They claim to have found a natural explanation for the insulin tests that “proved poisoning”.

But is there substance to the theory? (1/7)

YouTube video by Channel 4 News Lucy Letby suffered 'potential miscarriage of justice' - ex-senior coroner's officer

Dr Shoo Lee was a brilliant neonatologist according to Lucy Letby's prosecution.

Until he disagreed with them.

Senior Coroner's Officer Stephanie Davies's work was so good it led to the investigation, according to the police.

Until she disagreed with them.

Funny that.

You are welcome to disregard their collective work of course. But I know who I'd rather trust to tell me the medical truth.

It's him vs the best in the world, who have all but their reputations on the line for no money.

Dr Shoo Lee only knew his paper had been misused. For all he knew it was an anomaly. But he was concerned, and so were his colleagues.

As an independent witness, he also boasts he has only ever lost one case.

A very strange boast from an independent witness.

It looks for all the world that he earns a lot of money for telling people whatever they want to hear. A grifter.

Dewi Evans has boasted that his work keeps his son in cars and daughter in horses. If he was the best, then no quibble. But not a single neonatologist has publicly backed his ridiculous and ever changing theories.

Eventually those expert reports Brearey wanted did come - in Feb 2025. There are no more qualified people in the world than Shoo Lee's panel.

Brearey had even written to one begging for help in 2018, Neena Modi, then the president of the RCPCH. She has published over 350 papers.

Like Dr Ravi Jayaram and Dr Stephen Brearey who ran the substandard unit, he never had the credentials. In the face of no evidence, Brearey kept asking for more and more reports by every more qualified neonatolgists.

Instead, they got Dewi Evans. In the event, he seemed to do.

Last reply, but I'll make it a thorough one.

Dewi Evans was not a neonatologist, but he sought out Cheshire police as it was "my kind of case". He diagnosed deliberate harm in 10 minutes over a coffee, something missed by all the coroners and pathologists.

The police hired him.

Nope. Most of those experts in court did not actually review the clinical notes independently, they worked off Dewi's reports.

Dewi Evans has never been a full neonatologist. By the time he was in court, he hadn't worked for 15 years in any medical capacity.

He was the chief witness. Almost all the others simply rubber stamped his ever-changing reports, and never looked independently at the notes.

By contrast, the prosecution's chief expert Dewi Evans was long retired and has never been a neonatologist. He offered his services to the police, and is thought to have been paid 7 figures.

These experts - including the founder of the Canadian Neonatal Foundation, a past president of the RCPCH and and the Senior Medical Director of the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants (to name but 3) - all worked for free.

As a result of British Justice saying "whatevs" over 58 pages, Dr Shoo Lee called the best experts in the world.

He said he didn't know if Lucy was guilty. She consented to them publishing whatever they found, good or bad for her.

They found no evidence of any malfeasance in any case.

Allow Mary Prior KC, head of the Criminal Bar Association, to enlighten you. The system is so stacked against defence it is sometimes impossible to get anyone to testify.

Ah you mean the chief trial "expert" Dewi Evans, never a neonatologist and retired for 15 years? Who had contacted Cheshire police offering his services and deduced deliberate harm in 10 mins over a coffee?

BUT the devil is in the detail.

If this panel do not have a sufficient skill level - and worst case an agenda fueled by Thirlwall to send any staff member to the police who happened to be on duty a lot - then it would be a witch hunt machine. (5/5)

In Lucy's case such a panel would likely have highlighted the infection, staffing, inappropriate acuity for their rating and potentially common treatment errors like inappropriate ventilation settings.

Lucy Letby would be doing her next shift today. (4/5)

Crucially, would they have the power to convene a multi-disciplinary panel of true experts?

You'd need top statisticians, pathologists, endocrinologists, neonatologists, obstetricians, nursing experts etc to urgently find out what is behind each problem unit. (3/5)

If AI or simply raw data triggers a spike in deaths in a healthcare setting, the report suggests the Care Quality Commission would then investigate.

What would their process be? (2/5)

NHS WILL USE AI TO PREVENT ANOTHER LUCY LETBY SCANDAL

Never mind the AI in the Telegraph headline.

The two big questions: What was the Lucy Letby scandal? And would this proposal prevent the next?

This system *could* be the very thing that needs to happen.
