Standing up for doctors: MDU consultation work

ByDr Caroline Fryar MBChB LLM MRCGP DCH DRCOG

Published16 August 2018

The MDU provides doctors with medico-legal advice and representation in their time of need, and we also use our expertise to advocate legal and regulatory reforms in the interests of our members. Head of advisory services Dr Caroline Fryar describes how the MDU uses its influence on behalf of members.

While this aspect of the MDU's work may not be as familiar to members as the medico-legal advice line or claims handling, the impetus is the same: to make a positive difference to doctors' professional lives.

I hope members will continue to get behind our efforts for legal reform because this affects them all and together they are a force to be reckoned with.
