`This meticulously researched book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the issue of professional self-regulation.'
Medical Law Monitor
'Russell Smith has produced a work which must become compulsory reading for all future students and critics of the disciplinary role of the General Medical Council. This book is a veritable mine of information...Consequently this book is of as much, if not more, interest to the public lawyer as to the medical lawyer or ethicist.'
Medical Law Review
'a thorough appraisal of the Council's function as a judicial body...a valuable resource for students of the development of the profession since 1858, and a solid foundation for any more general historical account of the GMC.'
