Man charged after assaulting staff at GP surgery
Abstract
Last week, the Daily Mail amended an online news report3 that linked an increase in stillbirths to a lack of face to face GP appointments, after the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch clarified that GPs were not named in its report on the matter.4 Neena Jha, a GP in Hertfordshire, said that the way the story was reported had prompted a patient to abuse a receptionist at her practice and label staff as “baby killers.”5
