GP who prayed with his patients agrees to undergo education on professional boundaries
Dr Richard Scott has been investigated over his prayer practices
A GP in the UK who offered to pray with his patients has agreed to attend a professional boundaries course after complaints about his extra spiritual care services.
Dr Richard Scott, 62, had been due to face a tribunal to determine whether he was fit to continue working as an NHS doctor.
He was referred to the tribunal following an interview on BBC radio back in 2019, where he discussed his use of prayer in his medical practice.
“As a Christian doctor you have to ask yourself, who’s your ultimate boss? And it’s not the General Medical Council,” he said, referring to the country’s medical watchdog. “It’s Jesus Christ.”
