- Fitness to practise
-
We have published an analysis of our fitness to practise case data (November 6. 2017), which was carried out by an independent organisation, and our policy response to the findings. This is the first time that the GDC has carried out an in-depth statistical analysis of its fitness to practise data and marks the first-step in a programme of work aimed at assisting the organisation with its reform to become a better, fairer and more efficient regulator.
