Excerpt from Christian Concern post “GMC to hold secret proceedings against doctor for sharing his beliefs:” – “Dr. Richard Scott, who works at Bethesda Medical Centre in Margate, Kent, was first reported to the GMC [General Medical Counsel] in September 2010 for discussing his Christian faith with a patient at the end of a private consultation.”

“Following the complaint, Dr Scott, was threatened with an Official Warning by the GMC, a blemish on his 28 years’ service as a professional. As well as deciding to continue with the proceedings, the GMC has today also made the extraordinary decision that part of the case will be held in secret.”
