Good Medical Practice, the General Medical Council’s core guidance for all doctors, sets out the standards, principles and values expected of doctors. It plays a vital role in keeping patients safe and improving professional standards, and GMC want to ensure it remains up-to-date and relevant to doctors in their day to day practice.
An online questionnaire will be available to complete on the GMC's online consultation website https://gmc.e-consultation.net/econsult. If any patient or public groups would prefer to attend a roundtable to discuss the content, this can be arranged through the Regional Liaison Service. Please contact Tista Chakravarty-Gannon for details on mobile: 07919 256 476, or email: tcgannon@gmc-uk.org.
The consultation closes on Friday 10 February 2012. Once the consultation closes GMC will analyse responses which will support the publishing of a new edition of Good Medical Practice in late 2012.
