Doctors too often bear the brunt of patient dissatisfaction, despite many underlying issues being beyond their control.

The vast majority of patient complaints are closed at an early stage. However, even when a complaint doesn't go any further, the experience can be incredibly stressful for a clinician and can have a real impact on their wellbeing.

The General Medical Council (GMC)'s annual report on Fitness to Practise statistics shows a 25% increase in complaints against doctors.

Doctors expect to be held to account, but we must tackle the underlying pressures facing the NHS.

We all want to see complaint numbers come down. It’s up to the government and NHS leaders to ensure our doctors are equipped to provide the quality care they want to give - and that patients expect.

The number of members we have helped with coroners' inquests has increased by 125% in the last ten years.

Over 60% of those members were GPs, who tend to be more frequently called upon to give evidence about a patient's medical history.

We know inquests can place a significant emotional and professional burden on doctors who are already working under considerable pressure.

Our advice line is open 24/7 for members who need support.
