PC (The Committee on Professional Performance of the GMC) A complaint had been made against the doctor with regard to certain areas of his practice. The committee had ordered him to undergo assessments also of other areas of his practice.
Held: Krippendorf should not be read to restrict the Committee to ordering assessments only in respect of those areas of a doctor’s practice about which complaint had been made. Some skills are central to almost any doctor’s practice, and evidence of deficiencies in one area might well suggest the need for assessmnet in others. The statute was not limited in the way suggested, and the appeal was denied.
