FROM THE ARCHIVES | Harold Shipman and the Patients He Killed

FROM THE ARCHIVES | Harold Shipman and the Patients He Killed

Twenty-two years after Harold Shipman’s death, the consequences of his crimes still loom large over British medicine and public trust in GPs. In this remastered episode, I revisit a two-part series from my archives, now presented as one continuous story.


This episode explores how Shipman abused his position as a trusted family doctor, the patients who were left vulnerable, and the failures that allowed his crimes to continue unchecked for decades.


More than five decades on from the first confirmed murder, this case remains one of the most disturbing betrayals of trust in British criminal history.
