(Discrimination against gay and lesbian doctors goes against GMC's guidance)

Susan Bewley, a consultant obstetrician and David Harvey, a Professor of Paediatrics and Neonatal Medicine are co-chairs of the Gay and Lesbian Association of Doctors and Dentists (GLADD). In a letter in this week's BMJ they write about the fact that some gay and lesbian doctors in training in the NHS are still reluctant to be open about their sexuality for fear of discrimination by colleagues, despite General Medical Council guidance to the contrary.
