Our condolences to the Royal Family on the death of Queen Elizabeth II

The General Medical Council (GMC) has offered its condolences to the Royal Family on the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Dame Carrie MacEwen, Chair of the GMC, said:

‘For so many in the medical profession and wider healthcare Queen Elizabeth II has been a constant in their lives, and her loss will be felt by colleagues at the GMC and those on the medical register. We offer our heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family at this very difficult time.

‘The Queen was an example to us all in the way that she dedicated her life so selflessly to public service, and I know that many of you will be deeply affected by this news. May she rest in peace.’

The GMC’s core regulatory work will continue as normal over the coming weeks pending further details of the state funeral. We will update our website if those arrangements impact on our work.
