- Doctors who have died while under investigation or during a period of monitoring
If we need to investigate a doctor’s practice, it can be a difficult time for everyone involved. Over recent years, we’ve introduced wide ranging reforms to reduce the impact and stress of investigations, including specific support for doctors who are in our fitness to practise processes.
As part of this work, we committed to publishing the number of doctors who have sadly died while under investigation or during a period of monitoring. To avoid the risk of identifying individual doctors, the data are reported over a rolling three year period. We publish this annually alongside our fitness to practise statistics.
