Regulation of other health and social care professions in the UK
The GMC cooperates with the other 12 health and social care professional regulators within the UK.
One of the forums through which we cooperate is the joint Health and Social Care Regulators Patient and Public Involvement Group. The Group meets around three times a year to share ideas and promote good practice in patient and public involvement. The General Chiropractic Council website hosts key documents of the Group, including agendas and minutes.
Reference Community
The GMC has set up a Reference Community, comprising members of the public and doctors drawn from a range of backgrounds, to help inform its policy and decision taking. Read more about the Reference Community.
