Tomorrow's Fail front page expresses their dismay - of course how dare the health secretary support the LCP. Scare mongering yet again
@drpaulmorgan @woody_gsd @silv24 LCP should be suggestions to which patients & relatives consent. Have you conveniently forgotten that too?

@C7RKY@woody_gsd@silv24 Legal position is that an adult can neither give or withhold *consent* to treatment on behalf of another adult. -
@drpaulmorgan@woody_gsd@silv24 Legals also say that docs can't examine or treat w/o consent, which should be obtained in advance if poss. -
@C7RKY@woody_gsd@silv24 Consent - *if* possible - key phrase. Otherwise duty of care to act in patients' best interests. -
@drpaulmorgan@woody_gsd@silv24 I don't know you Paul, so you could be one of few doing it right. But many don't. Some motives questionable -
.
@C7RKY@woody_gsd@silv24 FEW? I think the phrase is "overwhelming majority". Bad apples such as Shipman are exception, not rule. -
@drpaulmorgan@woody_gsd@silv24 Until truly independent review is undertaken (something the NHS wouldn't have a clue about) we won't know! -
@C7RKY@woody_gsd@silv24 Now you're just casting unwarranted aspersions. Makes me wonder what your agenda is. Remember Bristol Inquiry? -

@C7RKY@woody_gsd@silv24 The dying patient often not able to give or withhold consent. Medical team have to act in best interests of pts. -
@drpaulmorgan@woody_gsd@silv24 If such a responsibility did not give rise to abuse of power & patient neglect, we wouldn't be debating it. -
@C7RKY@woody_gsd@silv24 Never personally come across any such cases of abuse of power, bu there have been cases prosecuted by the GMC. -
@drpaulmorgan@woody_gsd@silv24 I'm afraid I have. Blatantly ignoring consent limits & even forging consent when challenged. Unacceptable! -
@C7RKY@woody_gsd@silv24 If you have such examples have you reported those individuals to the GMC? -
@drpaulmorgan@woody_gsd@silv24 I've reported them to the police first & foremost. It is criminal behaviour after all, as I'm sure you know
