What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe aim of this requirement is to support:
- Doctors currently subject to GMC fitness to practise process or policies (ie. investigation/monitoring/subject to publication policy) or involved in a GMC process to remove their licence for non-engagement with revalidation.
- Doctors in the licence withdrawal process.
- Potentially provide a similar support service for physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) who may become subject to GMC fitness to practise investigation/monitoring if, as anticipated, we start to regulate both professions during the lifetime of the Doctor Support Service contract
