I've been floating this basic idea for a while, but it seems more worthy of debate now than ever. >https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/937068760502079488 …
Of course views all mine. All without prejudice. Just a regular chap after all. Oh...and RT's may equally imply ridicule as endorsement.

John Clarke added,
By “prosecution” I presume you also mean GMC/NMC sanctions too? Otherwise fear of sanction will remain.
My thinking when I wrote it was regarding criminal prosecutions, Jim. I'm open to hearing all views on how professional regulation should sit alongside it though. It's all part of the culture.
Prosecution is the very tip of the iceberg. Most of us worry about “being in front of the GMC” for a mistake. Prosecution not really on the radar.
It's strange, but the GMC seem to have pulled off the impossible - managing to exasperate, infuriate & upset both clinicians and patients/families alike with their stance. Feels like a change is needed somewhere.
Nail. Head. Making it publicly funded might at least resolve some of the distrust/dissatisfaction.
Good start, I agree. Doesn't matter how many times you say it, paid for by doctors, run by doctors, judging other doctors... never sounds any better. I'm sure many will dispute & defend it, but that's the external perception. And then a few poor sods get nailed to hit stats.
Exactly. Public don’t trust it. Doctors don’t either. And doctors resent having to pay for something they see as being “out to get them”.
Sounds a lot like the atmosphere in every regulated environment I've ever encountered tbh. Resentment is almost a natural inevitability, but especially so when regulatory credibility is lacking.
Is self-funded regulation common? I genuinely don’t know if it is “the norm” or unusual.
I'm a bit out of the loop now, but self regulation has been common for a while. As has regulatory capture, it seems. I think most models are more indirectly funded through industry, rather than direct contribution like docs. You're all too easy to track, (& blackmail for fees).
