Abstract
The General Medical Council (GMC) relies upon consultant psychiatrists throughout the UK to assist in carrying out its twin tasks under the health procedures of protecting patients and guiding doctors. One of the reasons for the fitness of a doctor to be seriously impaired is the illness, usually mental illness, of that doctor, and frequently doctors do not realise the extent to which their ability to carry out their work has been affected.
