General Medical Council
The GMC registers doctors to practise medicine in the UK. Our purpose is to protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public by ensuring proper standards in the practice of medicine.
Doctors must be registered with a licence to practise with the General Medical Council (GMC) to practise medicine in the UK.
We are required to maintain the GP Register by law. Since 1 April 2006 all doctors working in general practice in the health service in the UK, other than doctors in training such as GP registrars, are now required to be on the GP Register. This requirement extends to locums.
The GMC regulates all stages of doctors' training and professional development in the UK. We promote high standards and ensure that medical education and training reflects the needs of patients, the service, students and trainees.
Licensing
To practise medicine in the UK all doctors are required by law to be both registered and hold a licence to practise.
Doctors work in many different environments. Those who treat patients must be registered with a licence to practise. This applies to all doctors irrespective of whether they practise full time, part time, as a locum, privately or in the NHS, or whether they are employed or self-employed.
Only doctors who are registered with a licence to practise can, for example:
· Work as a doctor in the NHS
· Write prescriptions
· Sign death or cremation certificates
Undergraduate education
Medical students in the UK typically study for five years to receive their medical degrees.
The GMC decides whether schools are entitled to issue medical degrees. To do this, we set requirements on what we expect of new graduates and also standards that medical schools must meet in teaching and assessing medical students. Our requirements for undergraduate education are set out in Tomorrow’s Doctors.
We test whether or not schools meet these requirements through quality assurance activity. We arrange for experts to visit the schools, inspect what goes on and discuss local arrangements.
We publish what we find out on our website. The medical schools also provide information to us in annual reports, and we receive information from other areas of GMC work and other regulators. We also respond to concerns raised by students, medical schools, patients or others, and arrange additional checks of schools if there is evidence that requires investigation.
Postgraduate education and training
After medical students graduate they enter a two-year Foundation Programme. After that, they choose to train either for another three years to become a GP or longer to become a specialist consultant.
The GMC decides whether or not to approve curricula and assessment systems,training programmes, GP trainers, and posts held by these trainees.
To do this, we set requirements for postgraduate medical education and training and test whether or not these requirements are being met through our quality assurance activity.
We arrange for experts to visit the deaneries, inspect what goes on, and discuss local arrangements. We publish what we find out on our website. We also consider reports from the postgraduate deaneries that organise training and the medical royal colleges that set curricula and organise examinations.
We survey trainees and trainers, and receive information from other regulators. We also respond to concerns raised by trainees, deaneries, local education providers, patients or others, and arrange additional checks of deaneries if there is evidence that requires investigation
