Agree

Yes

Slightly agree

No, only when the advice was proven to harm the patient

Neutral

No, scientific consensus can quickly change and patients should be allowed to try unconventional ideas

Volt UK's commitment to innovation and progress might make them somewhat sympathetic to exploring unconventional ideas in medicine. However, their strong support for evidence-based policy suggests they would be cautious about endorsing practices that contradict scientific consensus without robust evidence.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and the doctors should also lose their medical license

While Volt UK supports evidence-based approaches, the party's progressive principles might lead them to view the complete loss of a medical license as too severe without considering the context or intent behind the advice given by doctors.

Disagree

No

Given Volt UK's emphasis on evidence-based policy and progressive values, they would likely disagree with a blanket policy of no penalization for doctors giving advice against scientific consensus, especially if such advice could harm public health.
