Doctors are regulated by the General Medical Council, dentists by the General Dental Council, pharmacists by the General Pharmaceutical Council and barristers by the Bar Standards Board.
There are around 11 Royal Colleges that review a doctor’s ability to practice. Although some dentists specialisein such a way that they have to join a medical college, their ability to practice as a dentist appears to be directly regulated by the British Dental Council.
Pharmacists become members of the Royal PharmaceuticalSociety, which only recently passed regulatory authority to a new body called the General Pharmaceutical Council. Although a pharmacist might work directly for a drugs company, in a hospital or in a community pharmacy they are all in the same society. The Bar Standards Board appears similar to the General Dental Council in that they oversee barristers almost directly.

A barrister who dealt in the chemsex pills that killed his teenage boyfriend went on a drugs binge after he was suspended from the profession, a tribunal has heard.
Henry Hendron, 40, is facing 18 charges of professional misconduct brought by the Bar Standards Board in relation to behaviour which followed a previous suspension.
In 2015, Hendron bought £1,000 of mephedrone and GBL, a drug similar to GHB, from BBC producer Alexander Parkin, 42, to deal ‘in bulk’ on to the gay party scene.
He gave detailed instructions to his Colombian boyfriend Miguel Jimenez, 18, on how to use and package the drugs to which Miguel replied: ‘Blimey, and I’m the Colombian.’

A barrister who dealt the chemsex pills that killed his teenage boyfriend told a misconduct hearing that most of the charges against him are ‘rubbish.’
Henry Hendron, 40, bought £1,000 of mephedrone and GBL from former BBC radio producer Alexander Parkin, 45, to deal ‘in bulk’.
He gave detailed instructions to his boyfriend Miguel Jimenez, 18, on how to use and package the drugs.
Hendron woke up to find Miguel lying dead next to him in bed at his exclusive flat in London’s Temple - the collection of chambers where Britain’s top lawyers and judges are based.
He dialled 999, but the teenager had suffered a lethal overdose of a combination of mephedrone, known as ‘meow meow’, and GBL in January 2015.
Just because you can t make it work, Jon.
A barrister has been ordered by his chambers to delete a tweet calling a black teenager stroppy after she and her family fought her school when it banned her afro.
Jon Holbrook of Cornerstone Barristers tweeted that the Equality Act undermines school discipline by empowering the stroppy teenager of colour .
Holbrook was commenting in response to a video produced by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. It described how the EHRC had assisted teenager Ruby Williams and her parents when Williams was sent home repeatedly by her school for having an afro hair style. The school maintained that Williams s hair contravened its rule that afros had to be of a reasonable size and length .
