The DUTY of Candour and Good Medical Practice.

On the 1st anniversary of the GMC’s ironic revision of their Good Medical Practice guidelines, I was sent an email article to bring fresh attention to its contents. For once I agree with the GMC on this one. Every single Doctor practicing under the remit of this charity regulator needs to revise this as part of their evening bedtime reading routine and take note of its contents pertaining to an overview of practice values, standards and ethical principles (1).
