GMC Update Dr Vicky Osgood Assistant Director of Postgraduate Education
Why does the GMC exist? ‘… to protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public. ’ (Medical Act 1983) n Our purpose is to protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public by ensuring proper standards in the practice of medicine. n We are the regulator of doctors rather than a professional body for doctors.
Our aim To secure a regulatory system which: ¡Enhances patient safety ¡Fosters professionalism ¡Commands the confidence of all stakeholders ¡Is independent, fair, efficient and effective
The power of medicine §Doctors have a greater capacity to do good §But their capacity to do harm is greater than ever ’Medicine used to be simple, ineffective and relatively safe. It is now complex, effective and potentially dangerous’ Lancet 1999 SIR CYRIL CHANTLER Julia Fullerton Batten National Portrait Gallery 2006

3 apprenticeships of learning The cognitive apprenticeship, where the learner develops knowledge and understanding The practical apprenticeship, where the learner develops skills and competencies The moral apprenticeship, where the learner develops the ability to practise medicine with integrity and respectability Shulman described these as the habits of the head, the hands and the heart which need to continue as long as we practise medicine
