<p>It is a function of the General Medical Council (GMC), the independent regulator
of doctors across the United Kingdom, to maintain a register of doctors in the United
Kingdom. Where appropriate, it is for the GMC to investigate complaints about doctors
on their register and assess whether they should be referred to the Medical Practitioners
Tribunal Service, who determine whether any sanction should be applied with respect
to their registration.</p><p> </p><p>The GMC is currently reviewing the qualification
of currently licensed doctors, who applied for registration via a route allowing graduates
of medical schools in certain Commonwealth countries to obtain registration based
on their qualification alone. This route to registration ceased in 2003.</p>
