Forthcoming consultation on research and making and using recordings of patients

Web news item dated 23 June 2009 about a public consultation on GMC draft guidance.

The GMC is reviewing its guidance to doctors on research and on making and using visual and audio recordings of patients. As part of the review, we will shortly be launching a public consultation on the draft guidance.

This guidance has been updated to take account of changes to the law and revised GMC guidance on consent and confidentiality.

The consultation will begin in the first two weeks of July 2009 and will run for approximately 12 weeks. The consultation will be open to anyone with an interest who wishes to respond.

If you would like to take part, please register at https://gmc.e-consultation.net/econsult/default.aspx and we can alert you when the consultation starts.
