UK: Christian GP cleared over offering to pray with patients slams ‘vexatious’ case


(Worthy News) – A GP who risked losing his job for offering to pray with patients has been cleared by the General Medical Council in a case that establishes the circumstances in which clinicians are allowed to use their faith in their work.

Dr. Richard Scott, 59, who is a Christian, was investigated in May after the National Secular Society (NSS) said that a “highly vulnerable” patient “felt discomfort at the use of prayer”.

The GMC, which conducted a fitness to practice inquiry, said it had a duty to investigate even though the NSS admitted it did not know who the patient was, and had heard the allegations second hand. [ Source: UK Sunday Times (Read More…) ]
