believing

One woman said she had put down her sick dog, believing she would be gone for years.

Many of Ms Booth's surgical colleagues had made it repeatedly clear to the trust's senior leadership that they did not want her to return to the cardiac unit, believing it a risk to patients.

As such, all sorts of people are susceptible to believing or considering misinformation.

"By empowering women to come forward, by believing them when they do, we can go a long way towards eradicating domestic abuse."

Ian Philip's family are now calling for an external investigation into all of Ms Booth's cases, believing it may expose other cases of avoidable patient harm.
