Could you send me a copy of the code of practice the Assessor is governed by.

Response

I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the NHSBSA.

Advice and assistance

All claims are claim assessed by a General Medical Council (GMC) registered doctor. The GMC is an independent body that regulates doctors to ensure they meet the standards for good medical practice and protect the public.

To practise in the UK, doctors must meet the following requirements:

• be registered with the GMC
• have the right knowledge, skills, qualifications, and experience
• continue to meet the professional standards set by the GMC
• demonstrate competence
• keep their knowledge and skills up to date

The full set of standards a GMC register doctor must comply with are available on the GMC website at:
