Comment on: Overnight out-of-hours GP service 'manned by nurses', claims whistleblower
Anonymous | 21-May-2013 5:18 pm It is very interesting - and this has gone way off topic ! But my reading of English law, post Mental Capacity Act (MCA), is that 'historical best interests' has effectively disappeared: clinicians are now apparently responsible for negligence during the provision of any treatment the patient accepts (or is 'accepted' via section 4 of the MCA), but are not responible for the bad decisions made by patients. And there is a contradiction between the medical concept of 'soft paternalism' and things like the law and the GMC's description of the patient-doctor interaction - this really does need to be sorted out, in my opinion.
