General Medical Council
The GMC is the independent regulator of doctors in the UK. They work with doctors, their employers, their educators, and others to:
• Set the standards of patient care and professional behaviours doctors need to meet.
• Make sure doctors get the education and training they need to deliver good, safe patient care.
• Check who is eligible to work as a doctor in the UK and check they continue to meet the professional standards we set throughout their careers.
• Give guidance and advice to help doctors understand what’s expected of them.
• Investigate where there are concerns that patient safety, or the public’s confidence in doctors, may be at risk, and take action if needed.
