Dear David

Thank you for your request dated 11 February 2010, in which you request
information regarding the employing of doctors with police cautions.

In response to your request I write to inform you that we register
doctors to practise medicine in the UK. We are not involved in the
recruitment process involving doctors; this is dealt with the individual
employer. Information on our role can be found on the following page of
our website:

http://www.gmc-uk.org/about/role.asp

You will note from the above webpage we investigate concerns about
doctors whose fitness to practise is in doubt, guidance on conviction
and caution cases can be found within our Indicative Sanctions Guidance
which is available to download from the following page of our website:

http://www.gmc-uk.org/concerns/hearings_...
s_guidance.asp

In addition I refer you to our guidance on convictions, cautions and
determinations, again available on our website, the link is as follows:

http://www.gmc-uk.org/concerns/the_inves...
.asp

We also provide guidance to doctor's on medical ethics, our core
guidance is Good Medical Practise (2006) (GMP). On our website there is
an A-Z of ethical guidance and under C you will find guidance relating
to cautions (criminal) and convictions:

http://www.gmc-uk.org/guidance/a_z_guida...

Additionally I refer you to our guidance on the declaration of fitness
to practise which you may also find useful:

If I can be of any further assistance please let me know.

Kind regards

Louise
