I’m horrified. Knew this happened, but I thought it was unacceptably dodgy behaviour. Didn’t realise that solicitors consider it good practice.

Yes - and even then simply the 'profession' identification may exert some influence, both are doctors. A truly independent opinion is like gold dust though I do think some, more reflective professionals, can provide it

I agree. Evidenced based medicine is one thing, but opinion is opinion. 'Whatever he/she said' is never going to be an approach to forming an opinion that can be justified, but it is common nonetheless. 'Professional courtesy' - damaging though that may be. I remember it so well!
-
On slightly different note, do you have any links/ know what constitutes 'clinical opinion' in contrast to 'an opinion a doctor has about a patient during course of treating them'.

I'm afraid I don't, but that's a very interesting question. I've RTd it, so let's see if any of my followers might know. I did read copious amounts on record keeping many years ago, but not with that question in mind & it's likely been updated since then anyway. Sorry.

Thanks for RTing - hope someone will know!
