Abstract

On the 1st March 2012 The Law Commission published proposals for reform of health care professional (HCPs) within the United Kingdom (Law Commission 2012). These proposals are part of a consultation on changes the way that HCPs are regulated. Various consultation exercises, government reports and public inquiries have criticised aspects of the regulation of HCPs and made recommendations for change in recent years. This article examines the efficacy of the regulation of healthcare professionals.
