Medical Council
The GMC
licenses doctors to practise medicine in the UK. Their purpose
is summed up in the phrase 'protecting patients, guiding doctors'.
The law gives the GMC four main functions:
keeping
up-to-date registers of qualified doctors -
fostering
good medical practice
-
promoting
high standards of medical education
-
dealing
firmly and fairly with doctors whose fitness to practise is
in doubt
The site gives access to
many publications relating to all stages of medical education and
training e.g. for PRHOs The New Doctor, for SHOs The
Early Years, The Doctor as Teacher and Teamworking.
British
Medical Association
This site has many useful links
e.g. to the BMJ and Medline and the range of BMA services. There
are specialised services for medical students and newly qualified
doctors e.g. elective insurance, mortgage, pension and other
financial advice.
Royal
Society of Medicine
The aims of the RSM are to provide a broad range of educational activities and opportunities for doctors,
dentists and veterinary surgeons, including students of these disciplines;
and allied health-care professionals.
The RSM also promotes an exchange
of information and ideas on the science, practice and organisation
of medicine, both within the health professions and with responsible
and informed public opinion. |
