464 UK health workers request GMC to halt suspensions of peaceful climate protester doctors.

Hundreds of health workers in the UK, including 464 medical professionals, have urged the General Medical Council (GMC) to cease suspensions of doctors involved in peaceful climate protests. This appeal comes ahead of a trial where a GP, Patrick Hart, may be the first working doctor jailed for non-violent activism. The GMC has previously suspended two retired GPs, citing public confidence issues, although it did not question their clinical skills.
