Results: Who do you trust for your Health Advice?
Published on 06/30/2019
A Wellcome Trust survey recently found that 73% of people around the world would most trust a doctor or nurse for medical advice. In the UK, that figure stands at more than 90%. Andrew Dugan, from Gallup - the analytics company that conducted the global survey - said: "People who had only completed primary education were much less likely than those with the equivalent of a university or college degree to trust a doctor or nurse the most. More than a quarter of people surveyed globally said they would most trust someone other than a doctor or nurse for health advice. The most common alternative was family and friends.
