Harrop is being used as teaching material
I have no idea whether his name was mentioned by the lecturer or by a student (one with a MN GC mum perhaps), simply that when I suggested they google Dr Adrian Harrop, they all knew his name and were aware of his Twitter feed.
Not a good if this familiarity is replicated across UK medical schools, or amongst his colleagues. Essentially it makes his, and the GMCs position difficult as it suggests he is impacting on the reputation of his profession.
