Abstract
In the UK in recent years there has been an increasing awareness both within and outside the medical profession of the need to deal with doctors whose professional performance is thought to be seriously deficient. This has led to the establishment in 1997 of the General Medical Council's Performance Procedures, which are designed both to protect the public and to offer doctors the opportunity of remedial training. Recent high-profile examples of delays in dealing effectively with poorly performing doctors have led to demands from the public and the government for the profession to provide an assurance that all doctors are keeping up to date and remain fit to practise. This article describes one way in which this may be achieved.
