Fitness to practice audit report. Audit of health professional regulatory bodies' initial decisions (15th March 2010)
The profession and the public can be confident that ensuring patient and public safety is at the core of all the fitness to practise decisions made by the General Medical Council, an audit by the Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence (CHRE) finds.

The audit, the first of its kind undertaken by the CHRE, found that the GMC's processes and procedures for cases involving doctors whose fitness to practise is in doubt are "effective" and are "dealt with in a timely manner". Patient and public safety, and maintaining public confidence in doctors, are the highest priorities for the GMC's operations.
