3 Itroductio This is the report of the 2011 aual statistics for the Geeral Medical Coucil s (GMC) Fitess to Practise procedures. The report provides data o volumes ad outcomes at each stage of the fitess to practise process for the period of Jauary to December This report is supplemeted by a separately published series of fact sheets o key themes of iterest to fitess to practise such as ethicity, geder, time sice qualificatio, regio of primary medical qualificatio (PMQ), recorded allegatios, ad area of practice (doctor specialty). The GMC is the idepedet regulator for doctors i the UK. Our statutory purpose is to protect, promote ad maitai the health ad safety of the public by esurig proper stadards i the practice of medicie. The Stadards ad Fitess to Practise Directorate is resposible for esurig that we deal firmly, fairly ad speedily with those doctors who fail to maitai the stadards expected of them. This ivolves the ivestigatio of cocers raised about idividual doctors, ad where the ivestigatio calls ito questio the doctor s fitess to practise, the adjudicatio of cases before a fitess to practise pael. We do that by cotrollig etry to the medical register ad settig the educatioal stadards for medical schools. We also determie the priciples ad values that uderpi good medical practice ad we take firm but fair actio where those stadards have ot bee met. Geeral Medical Coucil 01
4 The fitess to practise process This chapter provides a overview of our process, ad explais the key termiology used i this report. Subsequet chapters i this report are structured i accordace with the fitess to practise process to allow the reader to follow the volumes ad outcomes of cases i a liear order. Chart 1 The fitess to practise process Triage Stream 1: 26.5% Stream 2: 17.5% Closed: 56% Case examier Closed Closed with 32.5% advice 38.5% Warig Udertakigs 10% 8% FtP Pael 11% Suspesio 38% Erasure 27% No impairmet 13.5% Coditios 10% Warig 9.5% Udertakigs 0.5% Volutary erasure 0.5% Impairmet o further actio 1% This diagram is based o the 2011 case volumes ad outcomes. The proportios are idicative oly as there is ot ecessarily a liear relatioship betwee volumes ad outcomes i a 12 moth period. We aim to coclude our ivestigatios ad commece hearigs withi 15 moths, therefore a equiry received or triaged i 2011 may ot result i a cocluded ivestigatio or hearig takig place i the same year. Here ad o the followig page we explai the key stages of our process ad our termiology. Equiries A equiry is defied as iformatio received (from a sigle source) that may raise cocers about oe or more doctors fitess to practise. The term perso actig i a public capacity (PAPC) deotes a idividual actig o behalf of a public orgaisatio. The majority of equiries from this source come from health bodies or police forces. 02 Geeral Medical Coucil
5 Triage We aim to assess all equiries withi oe week of receipt. This is commoly referred to as triage. The primary purpose of triage is to determie whether or ot the iformatio received raises a questio about the doctor s fitess to practise. If the iformatio could ever raise such a questio, we will close the equiry. However, if the iformatio raises serious allegatios which i themselves would call ito questio the doctor s fitess to practise, we will carry out a full ivestigatio. This type of ivestigatio is described as Stream 1. If the iformatio received is i itself less serious but would be of cocer if part of a wider patter, we would make equiries with the doctor s employers or cotractors to establish if they have ay wider cocers about the doctor s practice. Oce this iformatio has bee obtaied, we carry out a secod assessmet to decide whether further ivestigatio is required or ot. This process is described as Stream 2. Case examiers At the ed of the ivestigatio ito allegatios agaist a doctor, the case will be cosidered by two seior GMC staff kow as case examiers (oe medical ad oe o-medical). They ca: coclude the case with o further actio coclude the case with advice issue a warig agree udertakigs with doctors refer the case to a fitess to practise pael hearig. pael referral whe: a doctor has bee covicted of a serious offece a doctor refuses to agree to udertakigs a doctor fails to comply with a request for a performace / health assessmet. Ivestigatio Committee There are two distict categories of case cosidered by the committee: case examiers have bee uable to agree o a suitable outcome a doctor has refused to accept a warig ad has elected to have a oral hearig or where the case examiers feel this is appropriate. Iterim orders pael At ay stage of a ivestigatio we may refer the doctor to a iterim orders pael. A iterim orders pael ca susped or restrict a doctor s practice while the ivestigatio cotiues. Fitess to practise pael Our fitess to practise paels hear the cases agaist doctors, decide whether the facts are prove, whether they amout to impaired fitess to practise ad, if so, what, if ay, sactios are appropriate. Impaired fitess to practise hearig outcomes comprise erasure, suspesio, coditios, udertakigs ad impairmet o further actio. I additio to case examier decisios, it is possible for a assistat registrar to refer a case to a pael. A assistat registrar ca make a Geeral Medical Coucil 03
