Let's Work Together: A shocking idea for doctors

14 September 2006

Here’s a novel idea. The General Medical Council, which regulates doctors in the UK, has come up with new practice guidelines that recommend for the first time that the doctor work with the patient.

This alarming suggestion is contained in the GMC’s new edition of Good Medical Practice. It is made following two years of intensive research, which involved interviewing more than 500 doctors and patients, and after holding five major public meetings around the country.

Whatever next? Get the patient well? The whole system is going to the dogs.
