| 释义 | General Medical Council (GMC) General Medical Council (GMC) the UK body that regulates doc- tors. It advertises itself as 'protecting patients and guiding doctors', but doctors will realise that this guidance involves striking them off and ending their professional careers. At present there are 54 doctors elected by the doctors on the register; 25 members of the public nom- inated by the PRIVY COUNCIL; 25 doctors appointed by educational bodies – the universities, medical royal colleges and facultiesThe Privy Council nominees are not medically qualified. They are supposed to represent the public interest. It has four main statutory functions: keeping the register of qualified medical practitioners; fos- tering good medical practice; promoting high standards of educa- tion; and prosecuting and punishing rogue doctors. It is its prosecu- tion function that is best known. Cases are heard, with the public admitted to most parts, in London. Curiously, the procedures even for Scots doctors are those of English law. There is an appeal to the Privy Council. |
