‘Free speech’ no defence for bullying on social media, warns AHPRA
'The standard we walk past is the standard we accept,' the watchdog says in a public statement
AHPRA has issued a fresh warning to doctors that using social media to bully, harass or intimidate cannot be defended on the grounds of free speech.
The watchdog’s statement, issued jointly with the Medical Board of Australia on Monday, comes in the wake of the Dr David Berger case.
