Oops!

Thousands of doctors have had their detailed membership records wiped out following a huge computer failure in a new IT system built for the British Medical Association.

The BMA, main trade union for British doctors, represents more than 138,000 workers around the UK. But the collapse of the system has led to huge numbers of members being removed from its records without their knowledge.

According to sources close to the project, the blunder has wiped the records of many thousands of doctors from its database and left the association without any way of knowing who is a member.
