Doctors should be independent of political pressures, commercial interests, lobbying by interest groups’ and other subversions of good medical practice.The ethical basis of medical practice must be recovered by safeguarding and re-instituting the freedom of a doctor to speak to protect and on behalf of their patients. The GMC has undue powers to impose conditions on their practice, suspension or erasure a doctor’s name from the medical register and to penalise experienced, hard working doctors.
