About GMC Defence Barristers
Working as a career doctor is filled with complex legal issues. As a doctor legal responsibilities are extensive and sometimes present real dilemmas. In our experience, many doctors face legal questions and even malpractice allegations during the course or their careers and this is where we can assist. Our UK based GMC defence barristers have worked extensively in the healthcare field in areas ranging from the issues faced by medical students right through the legal challenges faced at consultant level. Our barristers have acted on behalf of doctors facing concerns raised about their practise because of health, poor practice or misconduct.
I approached Ms Stock of Kings View Chambers, following an unsuccessful attempt at securing my medical license at the MPTS hearing and after a disappointing performance assessment test.
Ms Stock’s office scheduled an appointment with me, accommodating me and the unique difficulties. She listened attentively to my case and then explained that she would work closely with me to achieve the best result possible.
Though I was seeking a firm that would guarantee success, she truthfully and openly explained in simple terms the work that needed to be done to give us the best possible chance of success.
What we do
Our GMC defence barristers take on the full range of legal issues facing doctors in the UK.

Our barristers also advise with revalidation, giving advice to doctors with or without a designated body.

What’s your view of Physician Associates?
Are they simply a cost effective way of helping to provide a service where there are issues in recruitment of doctors or are they part and parcel of essential reforms in an under pressure, underfunded NHS?
