GMC proposes new duties for doctors to improve and police quality of care
Authors: Helen Jaques
Publication date: Nov 2011 in British Medical Journal
“Doctors should be responsible for ensuring consistency and continuity of care and have a duty to act when basic care is compromised, the General Medical Council has suggested in the new draft of its guidance on professional conduct.
The updated version of Good Medical Practice, which is out to consultation until 10 February 2012, also includes new guidance on encouraging patients back into employment or “other purposeful activity” and reiterates doctors’ responsibility to maintain the profession’s reputation even outside medicine.
In the new draft the GMC says that doctors should take a lead role in maintaining the quality and continuity of care to prevent patients “falling through the gaps.” The “safety and quality” section of the guidance states that doctors, or a named person when a doctor isn’t acting as the lead clinician, should be personally responsible for the care provided for each patient.
In addition, doctors must take “prompt action” when problems with basic care arise—in particular, in the care of patients who are unable to drink, feed, or clean themselves—and when a colleague, premises, equipment, policies, or systems might be putting patients at risk.
A doctor’s responsibilities do not begin and end with providing clinical treatment but include acting to improve standards of basic care, said Niall Dickson, chief executive of the GMC. “Good Medical Practice is about more than setting a minimum ‘bar’ below which standards of practice must not fall or against which disciplinary action is taken,” he said. “It must be a means of promoting excellent care and fostering the leadership and commitment that lie at the heart of medical professionalism.”
The new draft is a pared-down, shorter version of the 2006 guidance, written in a less “discursive” style after feedback said that the document should be clear and concise. The guidance is structured under four broad sections that align with the four domains against which doctors will be judged at revalidation. As well as quality and safety these cover communication, knowledge, and trust.
The “communication, partnership, and teamwork” portion of the draft suggests that doctors should encourage patients, including those with long term conditions, to stay in or return to employment or “other purposeful activity.” This proposal reflects evidence that having productive activity is beneficial for patients, in particular those with mental health problems, and builds on guidance in the 2006 version of Good Medical Practice stating that doctors should empower patients to improve and maintain their health, said Mr Dickson. Doctors should not act as “policemen of the state” in this responsibility, however, but in the patient’s best interest, he added.
The “knowledge, skills, and performance” section includes new duties for doctors to be competent in all the professional roles they undertake—including management, research, and teaching—and to ensure that records containing personal data are kept in accordance with data protection requirements.
The final “maintaining trust” section re-emphasises guidance in the 2006 version that doctors’ conduct “at all times” should justify trust in the profession, despite nearly all respondents (94%) to a poll held by the GMC agreeing that the organisation should not regulate doctors’ lives outside medicine (BMJ Careers, 20 Oct, http://careers.bmj.com/careers/advice/view-article.html?id=20005083).
The GMC said, “We think that if a doctors’ conduct undermines trust in the profession it should, in some cases, lead to action on their right to practise medicine.”
This section also warns doctors about the possibility of their information on social networking sites intended for friends or family becoming more widely available. The GMC will be publishing detailed guidance on doctors’ use of social networking in 2012.

“ BIRMINGHAM, UK: With more than 375 stands, this year’s BDTA Dental Showcase hosted in Birmingham noted the highest exhibitor numbers yet. Over the three-day event, the BDTA played host to more than 10,000 attendees. According to the organiser, dental manufacturers introduced visitors to a wider selection of the latest dental products, technologies and services than any other UK dental show.
Despite the high number of exhibitors, the BDTA seemed unhappy about the number of visitors. “There is no doubt that it is a challenging time for the industry as a whole and this has been reflected in the visitor numbers,” Tony Reed, Executive Director of the BDTA stated. “However, I am pleased to say that the volume of business done at the show was significantly better than expected, considering the current economic climate.”
According to the host, feedback from visitors and exhibitors has been very positive. Simon Gambold, Managing Director of the dental division at Henry Schein UK, commented: “We had a very successful showcase, securing more sales of equipment than last year.” Panadent’s owner and MD Peter Gowers reported a similar experience, saying: “We exceeded last year’s show in business written and exceeded our target this year, which is pleasing.”
A series of informative lectures and seminars covering the core subjects recommended by the General Dental Council also proved very popular throughout the exhibition days. A diverse range of speakers attracted a tremendous 1,800 knowledge-hungry members of the dental profession, providing them with verifiable continuing professional development.
In addition, attendees participated in the Knowledge Hunt, a practical way of gathering information while walking around the exhibition.
Dental Lab @ Showcase, in its second consecutive year, provided an exclusive area for specialist lab companies to combine hands-on product and technology demonstrations with lively lectures that were well attended. The Dental Laboratories Association, the Dental Technologists Association, HealthTech and Medicines Knowledge Transfer Network as well as Medilink were jointly involved in the promotion of this year’s initiative.
Also during the showcase, the BDTA collaborated with Dentaid to help raise awareness of and address the need for dental instruments in developing countries at this year’s show. An “instrument amnesty” invited attendees to donate their unwanted hand instruments at Dentaid’s stand for use in improving the oral health of disadvantaged communities around the world. The organisers were “delighted to accumulate a wheelie bin full of essential stock”.
The next BDTA Dental Showcase will take place in London from 4 to 6 October 2012.”
“Pharmacists who use social media such as Facebook, Twitter and online forums have been issued advice in a professional support bulletin by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
The RPS is encouraging pharmacists who use social media to do so responsibly and reminding them of the importance of maintaining professional boundaries in relationships and interactions with patients. It also emphasises that the General Pharmaceutical Council’s standards of conduct, ethics and performance still apply in social media settings.
The bulletin can be found at the end of October’s “professional matters”, and includes signposting to relevant reading materials from the General Pharmaceutical Council, British Medical Association and Nursing and Midwifery Council.”
