General Medical Council

The General Medical Council should change it's motto to "working for doctors against patients." They themselves are, rather ironically, highly unethical according to my experience.

I cannot conceive how people are allowed to state they are GMC registered 'doctor's'when there's no record of them on the GMC records online. The dvla have no professional medical staff working in their department but only employed to wreck peoples working lives and others that state they're GMC registered qualified doctors on their 'honorary state medical team' who are recruited via facebook completing only what can be described as a pub quiz. It's time the Department of Transport and the GMC check all records to stop these unqualified 'doctors' making up peoples non existent health issues, overruling and wasting time of genuine GMC registered qualified hard working Doctor's and Medical Professionals. Unqualified people stating they're 'doctor's' can kill and need to be stopped from this malpractice.

They seem to side with the registered doctor with no consideration given to that of the complainant; a 'professional' can do/say what they like.I don't understand why they publish guidelines by which these people should practice.

The answer is in the question - who regulates the GMC? ANSWER- Themselves! It is run by Doctors who cannot 'Doctor' and so do admin on a quest to break the vulnerable patients and support the Dr Shipman's of this world. They claim to work to ethics when it suits and then break them again when it suits. Anything which suits them at their next coffee break is your answer to your heartbreaking complaint and concerns for your health and others. How do they sleep at night? I guess they count their gold coins under the bed gained from unscrupulous work....

Staff were mostly courteous over the phone and also in person so I have given one star. However, with regards to systems, processes and accountability, the GMC appear unable or unwilling to help patients and their families. Even when their investigation is concluded and a GP has been found, by their own experts, to deliver care below the expected standard, nothing is done to address the problem. Nothing. GMC purport to not have the powers or authority to do anything regardless of outcome so what is the point of their existence? All we wanted was an apology from the GP. People make mistakes - even huge life or death ones. The GP in question didn't even comment on the final report. Arrogance. Whereas at least the GPs fellow colleagues had the courtesy to offer what could be very loosely construed as an apology to a grieving family in shock. It appears that GPs found to be delivering poor care are beyond reproach and the GPs know it. We provided a list of witnesses and not one was contacted to help confirm or contest the complaint. GMC experts were the only people contacted. The investigation itself took a year. This is a long, drawn out process, quite possibly to limit and deter any potential escalation to the Public Health Service Ombudsman (equally as useless). Should the PHSO go through the motions of reviewing a GMC complaint, they will ultimately say the complaint is outside of their timeline and so no further action can be taken. It feels like the GMC, PHSO, CQC, Healthwatch and Health Education England are all covering each other's weaknesses. GMC impartiality is highly questionable and it seems that no action taken is 100% guaranteed. NHS England, were on the other hand, far more proactive and open to addressing mistakes and actioning improvements.

As a doctor I have to say the GMC is a completely fraudulent and racist institution.No actual value offered to patients and medical personnel. We pay annual fees to fund the operation and if you dont you can not practice. So many lives and careers destroyed Extortion operation should be investigated and closed down

I’ve written SEVERAL times with my allegations of malpractice from my medical centre who withheld my medication and have victimised me.Have written to their London, Manchester and Edinburgh addresses. THEY IGNORED ALL LETTERS. People online say they ALSO ignore emails.Why do they exist if they serve ZERO purpose? If the government fund them, it’s time the government removed their funding and install ANOTHER body to help us.ZERO STARS

These do not appear to be issues we can assist you with’ is what thes GMC wrote when I sent 32 pages of proof of discrimination and medical gaslighting.A Sheffield surgeon ended my care with the whole Dept when I got a 2nd opinion which the GMC says you can do (no. 16e) AND this was after a complication after surgery.I sent a letter, date 14.11.18 from Mr Chapple before he knew about the 2nd opinion which said‘Mr Chapple or another clinician would be more than happy to find a solution to your problems',I sent email from his secretary 20.1.20 which said she was going to contact the surgeon I’d got a 2nd opinion from and I sent the letter I received from Mr Chapple on 20.3.20 after his secretary had contacted this surgeon which said‘It was agreed there were no further surgical treatment the colorectal department could offer you. It was also discussed that the therapeutic relationship that exists between yourself and the surgical specialists involved in your care had completely broken down’The GMC says Dr’s must ‘never discriminate unfairly against patients’. Also they have rules when a Dr can end a r.ship (abuse, theft) and what he must do (warn patient first) but this surgeon didn’t follow ANY of the rules and I evidenced it.I also sent a 11 page letter about medical gaslighting from this Dr + proof e.g. a letter from Mr Chapple 21.9.18 said‘I arranged for repeat ano-rectal manometry which was performed on 23.7.18. This shows reduced pressures compared to the previous manometry’A letter on 29.4.19 said ‘she has a number of psychological issues which are influencing the perception of the severity of her symptoms’I couldn’t understand how he could see my symptoms had gone worse and say the problem was psychological but I now know it’s medical gaslighting, it’s dismissing the facts and lying that the patient has psychological problems and using that to not help the targeted patient and it is a form of emotional abuse and caused me A LOT of distress.I sent the GMC 5 let
