AHPRA is not ‘silencing doctors’ – there’s a difference between informed disagreement and denigration
Medical social media has been abuzz with outrage over the alleged ‘silencing’ of doctors by AHPRA.
Much of this has been triggered by the specific case of Dr David Berger: a WA GP who was ordered to undergo training in communication following a series of social media posts that AHPRA said used “emotive and pejorative language”, some of which unfairly denigrated politicians, governments, doctors and pharma companies.
