The GMC is a self serving registered charity. A doctors' club, existing systematically to reject investigation and censure of the fee paying members on which it relies. Masters, in the dark arts of spin, gaslighting and denial. And the whiter, more middle class and 'establishment' you are, the safer you will probably be, under its unmerited protection. It is aloof, patronising and uncaring, turning a deaf ear to mistreatment of the public. It is there to refute their grievances, giving credence to input from other authorities and regulators alone – their, together, forming a closed shop, against us, from which there is almost no escape ('PHSO / police / employer have no concerns, why should we?'). A medic's weasel words will always be accepted over yours, there is a totally uneven playing field – the way they like it. This bias is a travesty of how things should be. The GMC must go! In my own case, it has totally blanked, airbrushed out of all existence, a 15 K strong petition – and reduced 325 supporters' active messages of discontent left for them to one mention – of 'local correspondence'!
