Dr David Mackereth’s 26-year medical career hasn’t been jeopardised by endless, gruelling, night shifts.

It was, in the end, his response to an instruction in a nondescript training room that has left his future hanging in the balance.

After being offered a job as a medical assessor for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), David was told to refer to those seeking disability allowance as whatever gender they requested.
