As a Continuing Medical Education (CME) Group of Consultants in the Psychiatry of Learning Disabilities, we wish to express our deep concern at the vignette (case 3) contained in the recent publication ‘Vulnerable patients, vulnerable doctors’ (CR101).

We welcome the educational objectives of this document and the opportunity to address the complexities of working in this sub-speciality with large numbers of vulnerable people. However, we feel that the serious and important ethical issues raised in this vignette are undermined by the portrayal of the consultant psychiatrist in learning disability, and this potentially damages our standing in the medical profession.
