The GMC have produced guidelines on reporting criminal and regulatory proceedings within and outside the UK. This states that you must tell the GMC, without delay, if anywhere in the world, you:
- Are found guilty of a criminal offence
- Are charged with a criminal offence
- Formally admit to committing a criminal offence (for example, by accepting a caution)
- Accept the option of paying a penalty notice for an ASBO
- Receive a cannabis warning
- Have had your registration restricted, or have been found guilty of an offence, by another medical or other professional regulatory body.
- Your conduct (including as part of a management team) has directly contributed to an organisation that has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement.
