Designed to help doctors assess their knowledge and application of our core guidance Good medical practice and to provide help on finding further information and advice. The tool contains 16 different case studies (grouped under five themes) that explore ethical challenges in a variety of clinical scenarios. By working through the case studies doctors will be able to identify areas where they need to improve their knowledge. The results and feedback on answers can be downloaded and/or printed off and so can be used in 1-1 sessions with trainers or in group discussions.

• Good medical practice in action (GMPiA) which presents a number of ethical scenarios
• Decision tools/ case studies on confidentiality, end of life care, leadership, management & raising concerns, and child protection
• Case studies of what happens when doctors don’t follow the guidance

This sits under the ‘concerns about doctors’ section of our website and was developed primarily to assist doctors with health concerns who have been referred to the GMC. However it is useful for all doctors to be aware of how to deal with health issues that may affect their ability to practise.
