## Description

This review is part of an ongoing programme of work undertaken by the General Medical Council \(GMC\) to ensure that our fitness to practise procedures are fair, consistent and robust\. Between 2010 and 2013, 947 doctors either agreed to undertakings or were issued a condition or warning following the investigation of a complaint \. Further information about how we investigate and act on concerns about doctors can be found in Annex A\. We know very little about the impact of 'warnings' or restrictions on practice on doctors, and have limited information on what their experiences are of receiving a warning or restriction on their practice\. Through gathering the views and opinions of doctors who have received a warning, agreed to undertakings or been subject to conditions, as well as obtaining views from their employers, this research will explore the different impacts these sanctions have on individual's, and on patient care\.
