Prevent anyone who is not a qualified medical doctor using the title "Dr"
The Government should pass legislation making it illegal for anyone to use the title "Dr" before their name unless they are a qualified medical doctor.
There is a common misunderstanding in the UK about the term 'doctor'.
Certain professionals use the title "Dr" before their name, where they have been awarded a doctorate, even if this is unrelated to medicine.
Legislation limiting the use of the title "Dr" to qualified medical doctors should help provide clarity for the general public.
