Rejected petition To Reform The General Medical council's investigating process against doctors.
The General Medical council's investigatory process should be made more transparent, simpler and with a proportionate response when comes to punishing doctors for trivial, non clinical and non patient related issues.
More details
General Medical council has shown significant discrepancies and discrimination against Doctor from Overseas . Number of cases where GMC it self admitted they have made grave errors and acknowledged the disproportionate number of overseas medical graduates being penalised .
Public money and time being misused to prosecute doctors for various trivial , non clinical & managerial mishaps .
This not only a waste of resources but take the healthcare professionals out of the frontline work.
