GMC release guidance on assisted suicide cases

GMC release guidance on assisted suicide cases | News | The Christian Institute: Assisted suicide “is illegal and doctors should have no part of it”, the leader of the General Medical Council (GMC) has said.

Niall Dickson’s comments came as the GMC, the regulatory authority for doctors, launched a consultation on its first ever guidance on assisted suicide.

The guidance, which is subject to a three month consultation, will help the GMC decide if doctors should face a disciplinary panel if they are accused of encouraging or assisting a suicide.
