The Doctor, ATOS, and Ethics
There's a fascinating article in the BMJ in which a doctor questions whether medical personnel working for ATOS can be sure they are meeting the demands of medical ethics, and concludes they can't.
Even before it was farmed out to ATOS, when it was the Benefits Agency Medical Services, those who were subjected to its procedures (i.e. me!) had serious doubts about its standards of professional ethics.
Do you have a link or know what issue it's in please, tried the BMJ website but no luck?
