[QUOTE="finzi1966, post: 2505165, member: 548675"] Just to say re: “practising doctor” - it’s a real hassle to maintain a licence to practice, involving £500 a year registration fee to the GMC, having privately funded annual appraisals and paying someone to be your “responsible officer” (£1500), 5 yearly revalidation involving extensive 360 feedback from patients and colleagues, 50 hours proven CPD annually, evidence of annual audits. There is no shame in not having a licence to practice if you don’t require one for the job that you do (in his case, TV presenter and author). It does *not* mean he isn’t a doctor, or that he doesn’t have a right to use that title, or that he’s in trouble with the GMC. No comment one way or the other about his views on diet etc - I don’t really know what they are (although I do usually quite enjoy watching his TV shows). But I wanted to counter any “he’s not a real doctor” narrative. [/QUOTE]
