The UK National Health Service (NHS) has a hugely diverse workforce with more than 40% of doctors being of ethnic minority origins. Four decades of research and reports have shown that the experience of Black and other minority ethnic doctors throughout the General Medical Council (GMC) regulatory processes persistently reflects that the GMC shows poor judgement and differential treatment to doctors from Black and other minority ethnic backgrounds. High-profile cases, such as those of doctors Hadiza Bawa-Garba and David Sellu, reinforce these perceptions.
