General Medical Council

If you have concerns about the conduct, competence, or health of a doctor registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) in the United Kingdom, you can report them to the GMC.

The steps to follow are:

Gather information: Before making a report, it’s important to gather as much information as possible about the doctor and the concerns you have. This may include details about the doctor’s actions, any relevant medical records, and any other relevant documentation.
Contact the GMC: You can contact the GMC by telephone, email, or post. The GMC will then assess your report to determine if it needs to be investigated further.
Provide information: If the GMC decides to investigate your report, you may be asked to provide additional information or attend a meeting to discuss your concerns.
Outcome: The GMC will determine the outcome of its investigation and decide what action, if any, needs to be taken. This may include taking no further action, offering advice or guidance, or referring the doctor to a fitness to practice panel for a hearing.

The GMC will only investigate concerns about doctors who are registered with them.

The GMC do not make awards for compensation for injuries or losses sustained by patients.

In order to pursue a claim for compensation you will need to instruct specialist solicitors. GMC investigations can take many years and the fact you have complained to the GMC does not mean that limitation periods in respect of any claim you may have cease to run. Therefore if you believe you or a family member have suffered an injury as a result of medical negligence you should not delay in obtaining initial advice from a specialist solicitor.

Testimonials

"If I am able to build up and sell another company, I would certainly engage GAD for the sales process again. I had never done this before, but from start of the Due Diligence and Heads of Terms to finishing with Completion, they were great. Very reasonable fees too!"

"The whole experience of my dealings with the firm have been of the highest quality! Professionalism, politeness and expedition were all above and beyond"

"We would both like to thank you for your kind / personal approach to our legal matters, which given some complexities sometimes is so nice to receive. We would not have any hesitation in recommending you and indeed Gregory Abrams to any of our friends and colleagues in the future."
