Research into increased referrals from public bodies to the GMC
Referrals to the GMC's Fitness to Practise procedures can come from many sources, including individuals and organisations. Over the last eighteen months, the GMC has seen significant increases in referral rates from Persons Acting in a Public Capacity (PAPCs) - i.e. public bodies such as NHS Trusts and PCTs.We wish to commission qualitative research to enhance our understanding of the causes of this increase, including any national or regional variations. This should assist us in establishing whether the increases are likely to be long-term and also in determining whether there is a need for more guidance to PAPCs about the criteria for referring doctors to the GMC.

Positive Outcomes of Professional Revalidation Literature Review
The GMC is in the process of developing its approach to introducing revalidation for doctors as a means of offering periodic assurance that they remain up-to-date and fit to practise. This research will involve a review of literature, covering medical, healthcare and a range of other sectors, to help understand whether the introduction of revalidation and/or similar processes such as relicensing and performance appraisal, has led to demonstrable improvements in quality standards.
