Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Nick Coatsworth has been roasted on social media after he suggested he only listens to doctors’ COVID-19 concerns if they call him.

Dr Coatsworth took to Twitter to thank doctors for their constructive communication over the last six months and to point out they are heard when they pick up a phone “instead of a megaphone”.
