“The standards expected of doctors do not change because they are communicating through social media rather than face to face or through other traditional media. However, using social media creates new circumstances in which the established principles apply.”

GPs & patients need better info
”The OFT considers that there is a shortage of accessible, standardised and comparable information provided to patients, GPs and PMI providers in relation to the quality of PH facilities and of consultants”
“The OFT patient interviews and the OFT GP survey both indicate that patients place a great amount of trust in their GPs' opinions and recommendations”
