Complain to the local health Authority\nHow to complain\nIf you have concerns about a doctor there are a number of avenues open to you, depending on the nature of your concern. Many concerns about doctors are more appropriately dealt with locally without the need to refer to the GMC.\n\nThe best course of action will depend on the seriousness of the complaint and what you wish to achieve.\n\nComplaints to the NHS\nIt is often better for patients to raise concerns through a local complaints system. This can either be the National Health Service (NHS) complaints procedure or, if you receive private care, the complaints system run by the hospital or clinic you attended.\n\nEngland \nNorthern Ireland \nScotland \nWales \nThe GMC can help \nYou may wish to discuss your concern further with a member of GMC staff before you formally take your concern forward. All calls are confidential and the member of staff will advise you on the options available. The number to ring for this advice is Tel: 0845 357 8001, Fax: 0845 357 0022, FTP tel: 0845 357 0022, Outside the UK tel: +44 (0)161 923 6402, or you can email practise@gmc-uk.org.\n\nWe produce guides to explain the process for: \n\nPatients, or their family or friends \nAnd doctors who have been referred to the GMC \nFactsheets\nThe factsheets below give more detail about the procedures involved and the various possible outcomes:\n\nA guide to the Fitness to Practise procedures ( pdf, 55k) (2005) \nHealth assessments \nInvestigating concerns \nPerformance assessments \nUndertakings \nWarnings
