Good Occupational Medical Practice 2010
A specialty-specific interpretation of the General Medical Council’s Good Medical Practice booklet, this document supersedes Good Medical Practice for Occupational Physicians published in 2001. It contains detailed explicit statements about good occupational health practice, set out in words similar to those used by the GMC. It will be of significance to practising Occupational Physicians and may represent a new benchmark in situations of professional accountability in Britain.

Guidance on health and work for healthcare professionals, especially GPs.
