DZ has been highly critical over the years about the GMC. But this article reveals that the General Nursing council is just as bad. Compare these two phrases;
“the council causes distress to doctors over trivial complaints while tolerating poor practice in other cases”. Sir Liam Donaldson.
"Good nurses find themselves investigated for years over minor issues, while some bad ones escape sanction." Independent review.
In fact, reading the review you could be forgiven for thinking that it was about the GMC, with references to bullying, racism, and suicide among those being investigated.
The GMC, GNC, and all the other specific regulatory bodies should be abolished totally, and replaced with a proper, independent, professional body covering all health professions. Staffed by properly qualified people, instead of the incompetent amateurs we all have to put up with.
