The GMC review of fitness to practise investigations and its impact on doctors

Abstract

This article is focused on the General Medical Council (GMC) review of fitness to practice investigations and its impact on doctors. The fact that doctors have a higher suicide rate than the general population is of great concern. Given the death of several doctors while under the GMC fitness to practice procedures, the internal review and report on this matter is very welcome. Contact with the GMC can result in significant anxiety for doctors. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
