Regulating doctors, ensuring good medical practice

Regional Liaison Service

Our Regional Liaison Service (RLS) work with our partners across England to make sure that what we do is understood and meets their needs.

Current Projects

The RLS is currently providing support to the wider GMC colleagues and our key groups of interest on:

Our Regional Liaison Advisers 

  • Help people to get involved in shaping our work through consultations and discuss changes that could affect them
  • Promote the standards we set for doctors and explains what happens if a doctor falls short of these
  • Support the implementation of revalidation by engaging groups of doctors and patients to make sure they understand what it is, how it will work and what it will mean for them

The team primarily works with groups representing patients, groups representing doctors, medical schools and students.
