About
The General Medical Council (GMC) awarded a contract to Community Research Ltd for research to examine employer referrals of doctors to the GMC.
The project addressed three research questions: whether local complaints processes, escalation criteria, and concern-raising cultures lead to a higher proportion of complaints referred to the GMC that require investigation; whether promising approaches can be identified and transferred to other situations; and whether different approaches affect engagement with or impact on different groups of doctors by role, seniority, or demographics.
The contract value was £76,000.
