I have found great support for the petition from my local GP practice. My own GP has signed and is forwarding the link to the others in the practice. Also I phoned the hospital to tell them about the petition and my research nurse asked for the URL and will give it to my consultant. I wasn't sure if practising medical staff could sign for any reason, but it seems not only that they can sign but they are keen to do so.
I'm posting this in case anyone is wondering about approaching their doctors to sign.
I have a meeting with my MP on Friday,
best wishes to everyone
