If you've been asked to be a witness then again, it’s important to be sure that you are comfortable with this and not pressured into anything.
Sometimes people are caught up in these investigations as witnesses, either as the clinician who is asked for their medical notes, or as someone else who has had sex with one of the parties involved, or just as a friend who’s seen or heard something called in evidence.
Clinic staff who are unclear what their obligations and options are can consult their professional guidelines, including the BHIVA guidelines.In addition to that, anyone can call THT Direct for advice.
