SunsetBeech - that's worrying! Harrop says he is working from home dealing with calls to NHS 111 - that can't be as an initial call handler so presumably as a "Clinical Advisor".
Meaning that someone could call NHS 111 and Harrop could be advising them to pay for private health advice and services from an online company run by a pair of doctors who have both been suspended by the GMC and are not permitted to practice in the UK. Helen Webberley had already been barred from practicing in Wales before she was suspended by the GMC.
The Webberley's say that they use (employ? contract?) legit medics to provide clinical services but presumably the Webberley's are responsible for supervising those medics.
Why refer someone to the Webberley's, rather than to an NHS service or to an uncompromised private service in the UK?
WTAF is he even thinking of conducting clinical consultations and providing medical advice in public on social media!?
"i’d advise having a conversation with someone at GenderGP to see whether there is a safe compromise that can be reached, based on your previous results, current dosing, individual risk factors etc. - i’m sure they’d be open to discussing some alternative options with you."

What the GMC says
"14. You must not use publicly accessible social media to discuss individual patients or their care with those patients or anyone else"
I hope he does not have any "Conflicts of Interest" or that would be another breach of ethics
"19 When you post material online, you should be open about any conflict of interest and declare any financial or commercial interests in healthcare organisations or pharmaceutical and biomedical companies."
