A General Medical Council(GMC) consultation on management guidance to doctors.
You can have your say on:
• How doctors should make decisions about your care when resources are limited
• How we can encourage doctors to raise and act on concerns about patient safety
These two questions are included in the General Medical Council’s consultation on their new draft management guidance to doctors.
The General Medical Council(GMC) has requested that we contact patients and members of the public to inform you of their consultation on their new draft management guidance to doctors which covers a range of non-clinical issues which face doctors in the workplace.
These include commissioning services, dealing with conflicts of interest, team-working and performance management. Guidance on raising and acting on concerns about patient safety has also been brought together for the first time in this new draft. The consultation asks what more the GMC can do to encourage doctors to speak up about anything which compromises the safety of patients.
The consultation continues until 3rd June 2011.
