The General Medical Council (GMC) is an independent, regulatory body responsible for overseeing the medical profession in the UK. The GMC investigates complaints about doctors and takes action against those who are found to have breached professional standards.
The GMC investigations can be initiated in a number of ways, such as when a patient makes a complaint about a doctor, when a hospital or medical practice raises concerns about a doctor's conduct, or when the GMC receives information from other sources such as the police or other regulatory bodies.
Once an investigation has been initiated, the GMC will gather evidence and may ask the doctor in question to provide a response to the allegations. If the GMC decides that the doctor's actions were serious enough to warrant disciplinary action, they can take a number of steps, including imposing sanctions, such as issuing a warning or placing conditions on the doctor's practice, or even removing the doctor from the medical register.
GMC investigations are intended to ensure that doctors meet the high standards of professionalism and patient care expected of them, and to protect patients from harm.
