TSN : Doctors may face tougher sanctions over failings: Doctors who have harmed patients could face tougher sanctions and be forced to apologise under plans outlined Friday by the General Medical Council (GMC). Under the proposals doctors will be expected to apologise to patients they have harmed and failure to do so could affect the sanction they face, the GMC said. The measures will be put to the public and medical groups in a consultation as part of a major review of how concerns about doctors are dealt with. The GMC said it will also consider more serious action against doctors who fail to raise concerns about a colleagues fitness to practise and failures to meet patients basic needs.
