Dr Jenny Vaughan DAUK’s Law and Policy Lead speaks to Channel 4 news about the impact of under-resourcing in the NHS and our preparedness in battling COVID-19
We have taken the decision to share a transcript of Dr Jenny Vaughan’s interview this morning on Love Sport Radio. She was invited onto the show to speak about the proposal that retired doctors will be re-registered to work in the NHS in the event of a coronavirus outbreak.
During the interview presenters Kelvin MacKenzie and Patrick Christys first ridicule doctors for not having a lifelong duty under the Hippocratic oath to return and treat patients. They state numerous times that being a doctor is a “well paid job” and that doctors should expect the circumstances they find themselves in as they are well paid and chose to do it.
As the government announces their Coronavirus Action Plan senior medical leaders, including Dr Rinesh Parmar Chair of DAUK, continue to express doubt.
DAUK Co-Founder Dr Samantha Batt-Rawden speaks to BBC Radio 5 live about Coronavirus saying that the fact GPs have not been provided with PPE is “absolutely bonkers.”
Dr Browne speaking to Sky News today about how colleagues have been speaking to DAUK about their concerns about NHS preparedness in the event of an outbreak.
