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:
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.
