To support employers in deciding whether a referral to the GMC is appropriate we have developed guidance to clarify when we can and cannot take action explaining the thresholds for referral.
Consultation on information that employers need

GMC Affiliates
The Government’s White Paper in February 2007, Trust Assurance and Safety: The Regulation of Healthcare Professionals in the 21st Century proposed a network of GMC Affiliates to provide support, advice and guidance to employers in managing concerns about doctors. The Paper recommended that the role of GMC Affiliates should be piloted in England, ahead of a full scale roll-out.
Find out more about the pilots on our GMC Affiliates page.
