Standards
Current standards for doctors
Our current standards at the link above set out the principles and values that define good medical practice, and outline what we expect from doctors in all aspects of their professional behaviour.
Current standards for physician associates
These standards set out the minimum requirements for safe physician associate practice. Guidance is also provided to help those using the standards to understand their intent and how to apply them in practice.
Fitness to practise
One of our most important roles is ensuring doctors and physician associates are fit to practise. We have a set of standards for each profession which outline what we expect of doctors and physician associates, and procedures to follow if there are concerns about a doctor or physician associate's conduct, competence or health.
