If we do not make a stand I fear for the future of our profession. It seems that we are all being castigated for the Shipman affair which is quite inappropriate. The measures proposed will never stop such events happening again but they carry the risk of changing the pattern and practice of Medicine in this Country for ever.

If we as doctors were to act like this clinically we would be ridiculed. Irvine's comments are unhelpful, and in any case devalued by his own tenure at the GMC where he failed to carry out signifigant reform, unlike his successor.

There is a high level of satisfaction by patients with their care and self-appointed patient-advocacy groups should show more restraint when adding their voice to the debate.

In my view we should certainly try and remain as independent as possible and I am afraid that increasingly this will mean working outside the NHS.

While this seems an extreme view we seem to be moving towards this model at an astonishing speed. We need to stop the changes now before we have no way of returning to our traditiional role, with accountability to patients and the profession only.
