Doctors cleared of Shipman misconduct
Two doctors accused of failing to notice “extraordinary coincidences” surrounding the death of Harold Shipman’s patients that could have stopped his killing spree a year earlier were cleared today of serious professional misconduct.
The GPs, who worked in surgeries close to Shipman’s practices and countersigned cremation forms filled out by the serial killer, could have been struck off the medical register if the charges against them were proved.
