Comment on the GMC's State of Medical Education and Practice report

We were approached by GP Online to provide a quote regarding GMC’s State of Medical Education and Practice report. Dr Michelle Drage said: “General practice has a workforce crisis right now, regulators can help address it by improving their processes so doctors are not subject to unnecessarily long investigations.

 "The GMC is aware of the severe time and resource pressures facing doctors making clinical decisions. It would do better to focus its efforts on retaining the existing workforce and supporting those returning to practice, by promoting the safe levels of medical care that our patients need here and now."
