Help update standards for good medical practice

The Good Medical Practice Review Group have launched a major public consultation on the new draft of the guidance Good Medical Practice and invite you to get involved and give your views.

Good Medical Practice, the General Medical Council’s core guidance for all doctors, sets out the standards, principles and values expected of doctors. It plays a vital role in keeping patients safe and improving professional standards, and ensures it remains up-to-date and relevant to doctors in their day to day practice.

Throughout 2011 they have been encouraging debate and discussion about what is good medical practice today and what makes a good doctor.

Now you can take part by completing an online questionnaire on the GMC’s website at www.gmc-uk.org/gmp2012 .

You can choose to answer:

•  The main questionnaire for organisations or individuals;
•  A questionnaire for doctors and other health professionals; or
•  A questionnaire for patients and the public.

Please respond by 10 February 2012.
