General Medical Council
The General Medical Council (GMC) is a fee-based registered charity with statutory obligation to maintain a register of medical practitioners within the United Kingdom.

 

The GMC is an independent organisation that helps to protect patients and improve medical education and practice across the UK.

  • It decides which doctors are qualified to work in the UK and oversees UK medical education and training.
  • It sets the standards that doctors need to follow, and make sure that they continue to meet these standards throughout their careers.
  • It takes action when it believes a doctor may be putting the safety of patients, or the public’s confidence in doctors, at risk.

The GMC works closely with doctors, their employers and patients, to make sure that the trust patients have in their doctors is fully justified.
