Highland healthcare campaigners accused of "toxic atmosphere"
A Thurso doctor and a protest group are rowing after she accused Caithness Health Action Team's campaign of creating a "toxic atmosphere" and "demoralising" NHS staff.
Dr Alison Brooks says she's fed up of social media posts from members and supporters of CHAT.
The local GP claims negative patient experiences are being used to scaremonger "lots of patients" who Dr Brooks says are "absolutely terrified":
But Ron Gunn - the group's vice chair - says it's not to blame for local healthcare workers feeling "undervalued".
And responding to accusations of NHS staff feeling "intimidated, Ronn Gunn says CHAT just wants to protect or even improve NHS Highland's services in the county.
