Doctors and nurses are subject to the law and to the courts. As professionals, they are also ruled by ethical principles which may impose more onerous duties. In the United Kingdom the regulation of the professions is at present delegated by Parliament to professional bodies like the General Medical Council (GMC) for doctors (Medical Act 1983), and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (formerly the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting (UKCC)) for nurses, midwives and health visitors (Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors Act 1997). The decision whether an individual has behaved so disgracefully or incompetently that he or she is unfit to continue as a doctor or nurse were in the past granted to committees of these bodies. Appeals by the health professional to the courts were only likely to succeed if the professional conduct committee failed to hold a fair hearing, or reached a decision which the judges considered so glaringly unreasonable that it must be beyond the committee’s remit. There was no right of appeal against a committee’s decision to exonerate or to impose a light sentence on an alleged offender.
