Standards

Our principal function is to protect you by ensuring that doctors and physician associates are competent and fit to practise. We do this by setting 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.
