Doctor raises serious questions about medical awards system
'Club culture' in British medicine must be replaced, argues senior heart doctor
The system that awards national and academic honors to doctors is called into question by a senior doctor writing in The BMJ this week.

Yet in 2014 he was awarded an MBE "for services to patient safety."
