General Medical Council Registration Fees need reviewing
The GMC regulates doctors but the fee it charges doctors to be on the register has increased dramatically over the last decade.
We are not saying that the increase in fees is unacceptable but many young doctors are querying who justified this increase and why?
Can you sign this petition if you believe the GMC should be publicly justify the recent increases in their fees.
Why is this important?
Only registered doctors can work in the UK and the GMC as a government monopoly charges a premium to be registered. Doctors have to pay many fees to allow them to work but the fee to be on the register now appears antiquated and unjust, especially when we have no way to question how much we are charged for the continued privilege to work and serve the public.
As an additional point, would it be more sensible to have the GMC as a publicly funded body? Tax payer funding for tax payer protection.
