Description

The aim of this research is to understand how external users perceive, access and apply the General Medical Councils' (GMC's) professional standards. Specifically, we would like to understand: - Views on the GMC's current guidance model, how it is delivered, its accessibility and navigation - What users expect the GMC to provide guidance on, and what is better provided by others - The role of GMC guidance in supporting professional judgement The research will cover three groups of users of our guidance: - Users who are expected to be aware of and follow our guidance: doctors and medical students - Users who are primary sources of advice for doctors and may use our guidance to provide this: e.g. medical defence bodies, Royal Colleges, the BMA - Users who have a wider role in upholding the professional standards set out in our guidance: employers, appraisers, responsible officers, educators The project will form part of an extensive review we are planning to inform the revision of the GMC's core guidance Good Medical Practice (GMP) . The research should deliver findings by early August as the results will be used to inform this review.
