Baby P doctor removed from medical register by GMC
Baby Peter Connelly Peter Connelly suffered more than 50 injuries before he died in 2007 at the age of 17 months
A doctor who said she failed to spot that the abused toddler Peter Connelly, known as Baby P, had a broken back has been removed from the medical register.
Consultant paediatrician Dr Sabah Al-Zayyat was facing action at the General Medical Council (GMC) over the care of the 17-month-old, who died in 2007.
But a GMC panel granted her request for "voluntary erasure" from the register, meaning she avoids a full hearing.
It also means that she can still practise outside the UK.
Peter died in Haringey, north London, after suffering months of abuse.
A post-mortem examination found he had suffered multiple injuries.
He had received 60 visits from authorities.
He was already on the local child-protection register when he was seen by Dr Al-Zayyat, a locum consultant community paediatrician at St Ann's Hospital in Tottenham.

This ruling means Dr Sabah Al-Zayyat avoids a full public airing of the very serious allegations against her - to the regret of the GMC, which felt this would be in the public interest.
Many will say she has got off very lightly. Although she won't be able to practise in the UK, there is nothing to stop her working as a doctor elsewhere.
However, the health problems which prevented her appearing before the GMC may rule that out.
Dr Al-Zayyat has not worked for the last three years, and a doctor told the GMC her chances of ever being able to contemplate practising again were "vanishingly slim".
She is said to have been suicidal and her psychiatric condition is described as permanent.
The GMC panel quoted a letter from the doctor, written last October, in which she said: "I am deeply sorry from the bottom of my heart [for] the tragic death of P."
She went on: "His death will be with me until the last day of my life.
"I am extremely sorry with regret as I failed the child and let my patient down.
"I fell below the standard expected of me on the day," she wrote.
"I thought my decisions and actions on that day at that moment of time were reasonable but in hindsight my decisions were wrong."
The doctor's barrister, Mary O'Rourke QC, said she was suicidal, had suffered panic attacks and could not attend the GMC disciplinary hearings.
Peter's mother Tracey Connelly, 28, and her partner Steven Barker were ordered to serve minimum jail terms of five and 12 years for causing the death of a child.
Jason Owen, Barker's brother, was jailed for three years for the same charge.

Swine Flu on the return as children set to go back to school
As the holiday period ends with the highest flu numbers in Europe, United Kingdom authorities are bracing for a considerable rise in H1N1 flu (swine flu) cases when children go back to school this week. The National Health Service (NHS) and the HPA (Health Protection Agency) are urging parents to be especially vigilant to the threat of flu.
At risk groups can still be vaccinated, health experts reiterated today - it is not too late to receive the jab.
According to Professor John Oxford, St. Bartholomew's and the Royal London Hospital, history has shown that a rise in flu case numbers nearly always coincides with a return to school. The big question this time, with flu rates already extremely high for this time of year, is not whether there will be a surge, but how long it will last.
Oxford said:
"This virus is not going to go away next week. Even if it's already peaked, it's still going to be around for the next couple of weeks and it's still worthwhile being vaccinated at this stage."
Any child who develops flu-like symptoms should be kept away from school, British experts are urging parents and guardians.
Several sources say the current flu epidemic in the UK has not yet peaked, even though enormous numbers of children have become infected. The H1N1 flu virus (swine flu), like all H1 viruses, spreads rapidly among children.
British media are reporting today that the NHS is struggling to cope as vacant intensive care beds for children become extremely scarce. The Daily Mirror reports that swine flu among children has reached epidemic levels. Reports have come in all over the country of ambulances desperately trying to seek out hospitals with available beds for seriously ill infants - some ambulances had to travel over 100 miles to find a bed.
England has 28 dedicated pediatric intensive car units, which are reportedly "not coping" with the numbers of patients.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the UK government is facing serious criticism for not preparing itself properly enough for a flu epidemic.
738 patients with flu are currently reported to be in intensive care, 17 of whom require life support because their lungs and heart have failed.
Of the 39 people who have died of flu so far, 36 were infected with the H1N1 swine flu virus.
