How do you deal with a junior colleague bad mouthing a senior?
Medico-legal adviser Dr @GordonMcDavid spoke to @AdeleWatersRx @bmj_latest about how he'd tackle the situation
ALT Although it can be challenging, if you hear of a colleague badmouthing another, action must be taken to resolve it. If you’re close to the situation, make sure you’re not being driven by emotion. Dr Gordon McDavid, Medico-Legal Adviser.

An important consultation to contribute to, setting the foundation for the GMC’s standards of medical practice, which are also used in assessing a doctor’s fitness to practise should a complaint be made
Today we've opened a consultation on #GoodMedicalPractice – the standards of professional behaviour & patient care expected from all medical professionals we regulate. Your views will shape the future of these standards & support the care we all receive. orlo.uk/moIW3
