In a year-long campaign of deception, Lucy Letby, a neonatal nurse in a British hospital, preyed on the weaknesses of unwell newborns and their worried parents. She was found guilty on Friday of killing seven babies and attempting to kill six others.
One of those who raised concerns and assisted in the conviction of the nurse found guilty by a UK court is Dr. Ravi Jayaram, a consultant pediatrician of Indian descent who was born in the UK and works at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Chester, northern England.
The Countess of Chester Hospital’s consultant pediatrician Dr. Ravi Jayaram. He played clips from the first season of the podcast Accelerating Health, which examines the successes, fresh ideas, and collaborative efforts bolstering robust health systems now and in the future.
Jayaram completed his undergraduate studies in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and his pediatrics training in the north-east of England, Bristol, New South Wales, and London. Jayaram has over ten years of experience working for the National Health Service, or NHS.
Jayaram works with a variety of child health issues but is particularly interested in behavioral pediatrics, medical education, and the care of seriously unwell children as well as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and other pediatric lung illnesses.
Some of those lives, according to Dr. Ravi Jayaram, would have been spared if his worries about his former nursing coworker Lucy Letby had been taken seriously and the authorities had been informed sooner. There are four or five babies who could be attending school right now but aren’t, according to Jayaram.

He explained that three infant deaths in June 2015 prompted specialists to first voice their worries. Senior doctors like him met with hospital administrators many times to discuss Letby as more infants collapsed and died.
The NHS trust finally gave permission for doctors to consult with a police officer in April 2017. “After listening to us for less than 10 minutes, the cops realised they needed to become engaged with this. Jayaram stated, “I could have punched the air. A quick investigation that resulted in Letby’s arrest was started following that.
The jury at Manchester Crown Court found 33-year-old Lucy Letby guilty of murdering the infants, including two triplet boys, in the newborn ward at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016, after deliberating for 22 days. On Monday, she will be sentenced.
13 infants in the neonatal ward were discreetly attacked by Letby using a variety of techniques.

The CPS provided proof that Letby attacked infants using a variety of techniques, including injecting air and insulin into their bloodstreams, injecting air into their gastrointestinal tracts, forcing them to consume excessive amounts of milk or fluids, and inflicting impact-type harm.
The jury was informed that she intended to murder the infants while duping her coworkers into thinking there was a natural cause.
Lucy Letby tried to mislead her coworkers by claiming that the harm she inflicted was only an increase in each baby’s vulnerability. She had the ability to turn harmless items like air, milk, liquids, or medications like insulin into deadly ones. She weaponized her art and misused her education to cause hurt, grief, and death, according to Pascale Jones of the CPS.
Letby was initially detained in July 2018 and charged two years later in November 2020.
The Cheshire Constabulary, who conducted the investigation, claimed it was one of their most challenging cases.
