Doctors 'should not have to report' suspected terrorists

Doctors 'should not have to report' suspected terrorists Doctors should not be obliged to refer concerns about suspected terrorists to Prevent de-radicalisation authorities, their union has ruled.

The British Medical Association agreed a motion to support any members who refuse to take part in training in the scheme.

Doctors said the obligations on them were “Orwellian” “Kafka-esque” and “like a scene from Minority Report” – claiming the measures were creating “a climate of fear and mistrust”.

They said that the obligation to refer suspicions about patients or colleagues to the authorities could undermine trust in medics. The Daily Telegraph
