Fitness to practise
Ensuring doctors are fit to practise medicine is a fundamental purpose of the Medical Council. We protect the public and ensure the doctor is fit to practise within these 3 categories:
Conduct - the professional behaviour of the doctor
Competence - the doctor's application of knowledge and skill
Health - the doctor's own physical and mental wellbeing
