Info

The GMC has reviewed its expenses policy in order to improve provision for witnesses with caring responsibilities and to expedite payment. This should make it easier for some witnesses to attend hearings and provide their evidence. Providing support to witnesses: training from experts in managing vulnerable witnesses The GPhC has commissioned training by the Samaritans for caseworkers on how to deal with vulnerable witnesses. The aim of the training was to improve the customer service provided to vulnerable witnesses, so that they remain willing and able to participate in fitness to practise proceedings. The GPhC has also published a witness care leaflet which provides information on what happens before and at a fitness to practise hearing. Learning from the fitness to practise process The GMC is working with the Royal College of Anaesthetists and with the Royal College of Psychiatrists by providing data and information to them about fitness to practise complaints against anaesthetists and psychiatrists. The Royal Colleges are using this information to explore the reasons behind these complaints - to inform further research and potentially to develop training and guidance to help their members reduce the risk of fitness to practise complaints being made against them. We support the use of fitness to practise data to help identify areas of risk in this way, and to help regulators to target their guidance and standards to registrants. 8. The regulators in numbers 8.1 In this section, we provide some basic numerical data on the regulators’ performance. The data provides some context on the size of the regulators in terms of the number of professions and professionals that they regulate, and the size of their workloads. 8.2 When reading this data for each of the regulators, care should be taken to ensure that misleading comparisons are not made. There are differences in the size of the regulators both in terms of staff numbers and registrants, they all work to differing legislation, rules and processes, they have a varying caseload in terms of registration applications and fitness to practise referrals, and are dependent to a greater or lesser extent on information from third parties, which can impact on the timeliness of their work. Furthermore the time period which some of the data relates to is not directly comparable, as it is only for part of the financial year 2011/12. 16
Data relates to the financial year 2011/12 unless otherwise stated in the notes.
