There have been various suggestions of what the criteria are for a justified conscientious refusal (eg, reasonable1 ,2 and genuine3), but none of them could be assessed with confidence.4 Cowley5 makes a case against using tribunals as a means of assessing the defensibility of physicians’ conscientio...
